WHITE-LABEL PROMO; promo sticker on front and promo text on label. Vinyl plays with some crackles and a few light-clicks (play-graded). Cover looks good, a few creases near edges; scuffing, surface impressions, and discoloration spots (front/back). Surface abrasions near center-right/top-left on front. "-2" written near top-left on front; "WRGW" written near center-left and check marks near bottom on back. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white); one seam fully split, one seam partly split near center. Spine has text, with wear. Top-edge is mostly split with heavy wear, developing split near center and wear along bottom-edge. Wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Released in 1968, the second album from the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band finds Charles Wright and company trying to translate their nightclub and singles success into record album sales. The standout cut is Do Your Thing, a simmering call to the dancefloor that plays on the strengths of this very tight band, slowly building into an undeniable groove; the record-buying public thought similarly, pushing Do Your Thing to No. 11 on the Billboard charts. About a third of Together follows in this funky groove: Giggin' Down 103rd, Sorry Charlie, and the sax feature Phuncky Bill.
