It's maddening that LNTG omitted the word equal from MLK's I Have A Dream speech on this. It completely twists the quote. :(

A high quality repressing, with excellent sound reproduction and this beautiful yellow vinyl, is just so sublime. Plus, the LNTG version is special treat. Also, this record is not just good for playing. This is because, you can hang the record up by its spindlehole on the wall, on a nail. When I have done this, I like to pretend that it is the sun, and that I am outside having so much fun, and not locked up in the house, with my mam who is reading the Bible out loud. In fact, if you buy two copies, you can hang one on the wall, while you listen to the other, and that way, it will drown out your mam's sermonizing!!

What are the lengths of the songs on this? Mainly want to know if a longer instrumental bit is on here. Thanks.

The last peace mix is the D Bs it is perfection the master tapes have been tweaked to create a stereo image + enhanced by over dubbed strings keyboards and real bass in Stereo

and This Kicks TK is only emphasized on the Promo The commercial uses the standard Syncopate black on tangerene labels with Syncopate emphasized!

is this official? there was a fake TK Disco release of Timmy Thomas a few years before this.

OK, a-side is widely known, but try the b-side "Funky Me". Instrumental groove, similar to "Why can't we live together", but more fast.
