BOBBY CALDWELL - What You Won't Do For Love (heart shape reissue)

The enduringly popular 'What You Won't Do For Love' by Bobby Caldwell, which stood out as the highlight soul single from his debut album Bobby Caldwell from 1978, served as great sample fodder for many a legendary musician to come thereafter, such as Tupac Shakur. The record has thus indubitably imprinted itself on the collective music fan's psyche, what with its leaping chorus refrains and resolute phrase-stop hook. Now, Be With Records make a one-of-a-kind statement, honouring the history of the record as it was first pressed: the U.S. first edition came as a 10", heart-shaped red vinyl record. And while the redo does indeed look similar, it sounds different: Caldwell's 'Open Your' Eyes' replaces the original 'Love Won't Wait' on the B-side, further hammering home the shag-trimmed, blue-eyed singer's brilliant range.
