Someone Else's Arms (Vinyl LP)

Beautiful Chicago soul from one of the women who did it best - the always-amazing Barbara Acklin, a singer who managed to mix the raw and the smooth in a really unique way!

The record's a mix of some sweet originals, plus covers that Barbara handles with her usual poise and class - and it includes the hit title single, "Someone Else's Arms", and a bunch of other originals, including our favorite, "He's Just a Little Guy", plus "After You", "Is It Me", and "More Ways Than One".

The record has a totally sweet Chicago production by Eugene Record (Barbara's romantic interest, and frequent collaborator), and arrangements by Willie Henderson and Tom Tom Washington - a team who really help knock the album over the top, with top shelf studio work throughout. A classic bit of Chicago soul on Brunswick, and a key chapter in Barbara Acklin's career.

Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
