When I picked this up at a car boot I didn’t notice it had a crack, all the way from the edge to the label. All
things considered it plays pretty well. Could you say that about a CD?
Honey Cone were Carolyn Willis, Shelly Clark, and Edna
Wright and were active between 1966 and 1973. 1971 was their big year – “Want
Ads” made #1 in the US and they had another couple of top 20 hits that year too.
By 1972 this single barley made the top 100 in the US. My UK issue would have
been one of only a few to have troubled the UK chart compilers I guess.
Their Wiki entry tells me that Shelly
Clark married Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire. So they have now been
hitched for about the same number of years as Mrs Darce and me.

Have you ever heard their songs "While You're Out Looking for Sugar" and "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show"? Both are excellent.
I think I've got "Monkey" on a compilation somewhere. Not familiar with "Sugar", youtube beckons :)
What's your e-mail address? I can send you an MP3 from a Rhino Records "Soul Hits of the '70s" CD I bought back in '96.
