EWFはここから始まりました。スライの影響を感じるものの内容はいいですね。ひどい手抜き感のあるジャケもまた良し!
白ラベルのプロモ盤のマトリクスは、1A/1Aと1A/1Bを見たことがあります。

何枚かあるのでこれも6月ごろ?にヤフオクで処分しちゃおうか・・・と、ただいまレコ裁判中です。

No man should have to face
His problems alone, alone, alone
Reach out and help the weak man
Make him strong, strong, strong
Now I want to help somebody
I'd like to help you, you, you
Now don't that make you want to
Help somebody too, too, too

The love you give
Might help somebody live
So give up yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Doo wah, doo way
Let love prevail

Reach out and help somebody
Reach out and help somebody

We all stand together
We all stand tall, tall, tall
We won't let each other
Tumble and fall, fall, fall
Now let's reach down together
And lift somebody up, up, up
Give love and kindness
It won't take much, much, much
