Olympic Runners: On Ya (12" version)

U.K. Funk doesn't get any better than this! From 1978, here's "On Ya", the last song on the LP "Puttin' It On Ya", in its 12" version. The photos on the double folded sleeve are highly erotic, with cream being spread on a naked black woman's body and on the opposite site chocolate on a white woman's. It's hard to think anyone would get away with such a thing today, since it's clearly a violation of sexist advertising. But I guess Olympic Runners wanted a record that looked as hot as Ohio Players' had done for years. :)
My copy is a bit battered with price tags and other some other red gift-seal sticker, how sad....
