HYPE-STICKER on front. Import from Europe. Made in Holland. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, a couple tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back); more noticeable surface abrasion near center-right on front. Inner-sleeve is poly-lined paper. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Top-edge had text and is easy-to-read. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Sweat, by Kool & the Gang, followed a three-year gap between albums. James "J.T." Taylor, Khalis Bayyan and Robert "Spike" Mickens had departed, and this album showed a refocused band. Raindrops and Never Give Up were hits on the Billboard R&B chart.
