Album Cover
Tony Aiken & Future 2000
Unity, Sing It, Shout It

Album US 1976 on Kimsha label
R&B/Soul (Jazz-Funk, Afrobeat, Soul, Disco)

There is an original promo on discogs from 1976 plus two reissues from 2004 and 2013. Here are the main differences to this 1976 issue copy: Original promo copy has 'Kimsha' in a different font and distribution details on the label. I also think it came in a plain white sleeve (not sure whether the front cover picture on the discogs demo copy comes from an original promo?) This original issue copy has 'Kimsha Records' in a font copied by the later reissues. There is no distribution details on the label. Note that the 'dink' in the original issue copy is the same as the original promo copy (approx. 3" diameter as opposed to the 1" diameter 'dink' on the later reissues) This original issue copy has 'bold' track titles on the label over the original promo. This is copied by the reissues BUT the reissues text is slightly shrunken over the original issue (i.e. less space between the text) The front and rear cover on the original issue is a screen printed design on both sides and the text and artwork can be felt with the finger. I believe the cover on the reissues is a modern printing method that feels and looks smooth to the touch? As I said earlier I also think the original promo came in a plain white sleeve but not 100% sure? Sorry to go on a bit BUT it is important to know the difference between the original promo and issue and the two later reissues - any further info welcome A side plays @ 45RPM B side plays @ 33 1/3 RPM
