LP version. "Drum-machine soul, funk, disco and boogie from Buffalo, NYC. Rare 7' singles and previously unreleased tracks presented as an album for the first time. In the early '70s, Jessie Key and Sylvester Cleary - two passionate idealists living in Buffalo, New York - formed a close friendship based on a mutual mission to better their city. The Attica State Prison Riot of 1971 was a burning memory, and the Arthur vs. Nyquist lawsuit - brought against the City of Buffalo for creating and maintaining a racially segregated school system - was on the docket. Key was once a cotton-laborer in Mississippi, who journeyed north for school where he met his kindred spirit, Cleary. The two struck up an intense friendship, bought a drum machine and recorded their first 45, 'A Man', a paean to self-actualization and Black American empowerment, which they custom pressed and issued privately. Dozens of recordings followed over a decade-long span, issued on local labels and warehoused on cassette tapes. Perennial optimists, Key & Cleary tried any - perhaps every! - path they could demarcate in hopes of forwarding their agenda of self-effected, positive change. They formed Buffalo's first minority-owned construction company, opened a health food restaurant in a building previously occupied by a fast food chain, and even concocted a candy bar called 'The Buffalo Treat', which they manufactured and sold locally. Eventually they started their own label, Buffalo's Reflection. On it they released their masterpiece, What It Takes To Live, a sought-after disco and Northern Soul classic, which previously appeared on Now-Again's Soul Cal anthology. This album collates the breadth of Key & Cleary's recordings from 1970 until the mid-1980s, both the songs issued on rare 7' singles and previously unreleased. It presents a conjoined musical vision and tells the story of a duo years ahead of their time, both musically and culturally. Love Is The Way was their ethos; their goal was to enlighten humanity and to bend history in a more loving direction through communion."

Avoid this handle if you use it
Color: Black, Size: Driver side
Good Product if you don't use it, terrible product if you do use it. The plastic it's made of is too flimsy and gets worse with heat. Installed this product and it only lasted a month and a half before the metal reinforcement plate ripped off the entire plastic handle assembly.

Fitment is decent
Color: Tan, Size: Passenger side
Overall a nice replacement color matched but the fitment was a little loose even though tightened well, where the end comes toward the top of the pillar it is loose and doesn't fit flush
