This is the LP that broke Curtom. Pressed in huge quantities after the huge success of Superfly, the album stiffed and as a result is easy to find in great condition. It would be a mistake to pass up on it; there's a classic Mayfield cut in 'Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here' and several more strong late 70s funk tracks.
