@thisFACTORYofYOUTH Released as a 7" on Soul Kitchen (Cat-No: SK-7188) in 1971.
This track was on the B-Side. On the A-Side was the track "He's Coming". Both tracks were featured on Numero Group's three-disc funk and soul compilation "Boddie Recording Company: Cleveland, Ohio" (NUM035) this year on the Soul Kitchen CD.
The ChicagoReader 10/27/2011 has this comment (in a review of the Numero Group Boddie releases):
"One group, the King James Version, featured two front men who dressed up like Moses and King Solomon, complete with white wigs, beards, and robes. One of their two cuts on the anthology, recorded live, features the pair preaching and chanting over a murky rendition of the theme to Midnight Cowboy topped by an out-of-tune guitar."
This was clearly a Dante Carfanga discovery, that dude is clued into every funk, soul and gospel 45 that came out of Ohio
