Somethin' Right

LP (Item 132066) Emerald/P-Vine (Japan), 1982 — Condition: Sealed
A lost AOR gem from a very unique singer – one with roots in the spiritual scene, but an ability to present crossover lyrics with a great little groove – in a way that makes for plenty of cool, catchy tunes that should have been huge! Instrumentation is lean, and very well-done – with a sunny, sparkling vibe that opens up perfectly for Jim's vocals – a beautiful integration of all elements in the record, but without the clunkiness of mainstream 80s work of the time. Terry Winch handled production, the set was only issue don the tiny Emerald Records label – and titles include "Love Has Taken It All Away", "Somethin' Right", "Within His Joy", "The Eye Of The Storm", "Promised Land", and "Destiny",  © 1996-2023, 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.

Wonderful work from the great Ellen McIllwaine!
