"A recent release and at the time of this review, the cd is apparently not harbored in U.S. warehouses. Call need go out to Japan to ship. Who would ever think the rare 2nd "Special Delivery" (Terry Huff-less) album, would see cd reissue daylight? Until now, music from the 1978 lp could only be accessed on vinyl. The writer briefly mentioned this rare lp in the review of "Special Delivery - feat. Terry Huff", the 1st of three "Special Delivery" album releases. Once again (and so many times seems the case) a Japanese music company has had the wherewithal to get this lp to cd and worldwide access. Seems the import music companies have the "reissue stoves burnin' hot"! Sweet soul record collectors have long known and sought the ballad "Oh, Let Me Know It" by the group, the single and/or this album. Along with the chased ballad "Your Song Is My Love Song", and other mid-tempo grooves, import acqusition cost for the cd is quite reasonable, when compared to pursuing the option of vinyl acquistion. Mid-70s harmony and smooth style, courtesy the D.C. area. The writer's marching call to himself when first appeared, "It's buy time"!"
