This has been well known to garage fans for years, and since the band was white and considered a 'rock' band in their time, that's where it's ended up in posterity. Guitarist Paul Cotton from the US 'country rock' band Poco was involved - Bobby and him have a long history in Chicago rock. I've had it in my garage collection but it definitely could get played for a US rare soul night. In fact, I'll spin it next time I DJ here in Seattle and see what happens. Probably much like Bill and Will's "Going to the River". I wouldn't dare to presume how it's regarded in the UK and Europe.

There are two label logo variations I've seen, one with the WMRC in block print and one with a fancier font and key in the logo. I don't think it's a rare record, but I have no idea for the going rate. Don't think a garage collector would pay heavy for it.

I play this out, kinda between categories but none the worse for that, mine's a gold label with the key logo

I play this out in RnB set and always seems to go down well.

Paid £15 for mine few years ago.

One just sold on ebay $100.....
