Le premier album de James & Bobby Purify , sobrement intitulé ; "James & Bobby Purify " est édité en Amérique sur le label Bell Records 6003 / BELL 6003 [ US ] en 1967 . Il paraît également au Canada sur le label Bell Records 6003 [ CA ] et en Angleterre ( où il obtient un énorme succès ) sur le label Stateside Records SL 10206 [ UK ] la même année . Leurs deux premiers singles figurent sur l'album et je n'ai donc pas fait de petits bonus . Bien que majoritairement tourné vers le Rhythm 'n' Blues , l'album nous offre quatre titres d'anthologie de Northern Soul , avec "  Wish You Didn't Have To Go " , " Hitch Hike " , le superbe est très très connu " I'm Your Puppet " et son follow up " You Can't Keep A Good Man Down " . Bref ! un sublime album !
