It Hurts So Good ... LP Spring/Southbound (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An excellent early album from Millie Jackson – recorded in a southern soul style in New York and Muscle Shoals, but a lot hipper than most of the rest of the female soul that was coming out of the south at the time!
