Every Day I Have To Cry

LP (Item 609858) Chess, Early 60s — Condition: Sealed
Miami magic from Steve Alaimo – quite a big record back in the day, and a set with a surprisingly soulful undercurrent too! There's a fair bit of tears on the record – as most tunes continue the "cry" theme started by the big title hit – and production almost feels like some of that wonderful uptown soul from the New York scene of the mid 60s – echoes of sadness mixed with swinging soul, handled by Steve in a really great way. A few tunes are more crossover pop numbers, but there's plenty of grittier cuts too – and titles include "Every Day I Have To Cry", "I Don't Want To Cry", "I Cried All The Way Home", "Cry Me A River", "I Wake Up Crying", "Cry Myself To Sleep", and "Don't Cry".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Sealed

This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Massive work from the great Cheryl Lynn – and a key bridge between late 70s disco and the newer grooves of the 80s club scene! The album's a mix of midtempo groovers with a few mellower tracks – and it's got a tight, slightly jazzy sound that was very fresh at the time, and which still ... LP, Vinyl record album
