If This World Were Mine...



Bob & Gene - If This World Were Mine...

A late 60s/early 70s soul relic that was recently unearthed and published by Daptone 36.

Pitchfork excerpt:

"It's all here-- the full spectrum of dumbstruck teenage L-U-V. Tough love. Unrequited love. Romantic love. Misguided love. Religious love. Selfish love. The love that doesn't come for free but is priceless-- all of it. "

This is the real deal, it's got the raw sensibility of Otis Redding, the "My Girl" hooks of The Temptations and the idealism of Marvin Gaye.

Check it.
