This is a fine original U.S. pressing copy of the second LP by the Sir Douglas Quintet, released in 1968.  After hitting paydirt with the 1965 single "She's About a Mover," lead singer, guitarist, and chief songwriter Doug Sahm moved the group from San Antonio to San Francisco, where they recorded this LP.  The record features an almost completely new supporting cast -- only Frank Morin is a holdover from the debut -- and moves away from the debut's Tex-Mex sound to blues and R&B.  The unipak jacket has a cutout hole, and is otherwise close to pristine (EX+).  The disc is clean with some light scraping and scuffing, and plays with some light surface noise -- EX(-).

I’m in the process of selling off a large personal collection amassed over two decades. All discs have been stored in plastic lined inner sleeves separate from their jackets. The jackets have been stored in plastic sleeves. I have play graded (spot checked) discs except where otherwise noted.

If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
