An absolutely great album -- just too short

"THE YOUNG MODS' FORGOTTEN STORY" is way too short.
That's the only possible criticism of this 1969 album by THE IMPRESSIONS, which I heard while completing chores today.
Only 25 minutes long, the brilliant album provides both sides of the sublime songwriting of CURTIS MAYFIELD.
"Choice of Colors" and "Mighty Mighty (Spade & Whitey)" express the social conciousness of race relations in the late 1960s.
"The Girl I Find" and "Seven Years" both explore the ups and downs of relationships.
All 10 songs are beautifully rendered.
My only complaint? I wish there were at least 10 more of them!
