Comments

cut-out hole on the bottom-right.

45rpm edited versions of A-1 and B-1 can be heard on Limelight L-3088.

Inside The Groove

Psychedelic moods with interesting chorus.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

The Sound Of Feeling, an interesting group consitsing of Andrece sisters (Alyce and Rhae) and Gary David, is famous as that Leonard Feather backed up with them. Like their Verve album, this album also features the trio's psychedelic harmonies as well as jazzy backing instruments. A very impressive album full of “the summer of 1960s” moods.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
