This is interesting. When you license Jesse Belvin's catalog, you are instructed to issue monophonic (BMG). However, if you know US copyrights expire after 50 years, outside the USA, and really don't care to license anything legitimately in the future, you do as Jasmine Records (UK) did and find and publish the stereo vinyl albums on CD. Jesse sounds like a fine singer, sad his life was ended so suddenly (car crash, age 26). Love the drive of the Big Band during the bridge...

Since Harvey Holiday (WOGL-FM radio host) plays this, it must have been a Philly favorite. High ratio, vocals to music. I did what I could not to make it sound like an old vinyl album. Dynamically increasing and adding a touch of echo to one channel gave it a fuller sound. Had to be careful not to distort Jesse's vocals. May do again!
