Remastered with two new songs not previously available on the original version, I Really Love You and It’s Not What You Know (It’s Who You Know). Original pressing from 2007 has been out-of- print and heavily sought-after for over 5 years. Includes MP3 download code. Ten years ago Daptone were excited to release an archival collection of the sweetest soul from upstate New York in the 1960s; Bob and Gene's - If This World Were Mine. The beautifully packaged LP sold out quickly and has remained out-of-print ever since. It’s stature has grown over the years and is, these days, a desirable but hard-to-find record for fans of sweet soul. In 1967, two teenage friends, Bobby Nunn and Eugene Copland, were the stars of Mo Do Records; a Buffalo, NY label run by Bobby’s dad, William Nunn. As Bob and Gene they recorded several sides for the label along with other local gospel and soul artists and the dozen or so 45s on Mo Do play back with unconventional humanity and anomalous presence. William’s dream of a Bob and Gene album would never be realised in his lifetime, but in February 2007 Daptone jumped at the chance to pull together these sweet and soulful recordings into an album that’s remained a Daptone favourite ever since.
