Les McCann Ltd.
Beaux J. Poo Boo
. . . and a funky young soul is he.

Released:

1965 on Limelight # LM-82025 / LS-86025 (LP; gatefold)
1965 on Limelight # LM-82031 / LS-86031 (LP; sleeve)

Note:

This album was issued under two different catalog numbers: First, with an unusual gatefold cover containing a paper "pop-up" and liner note booklet insert; second, with a standard sleeve cover and back liner notes. Online listings often refer to the first album title as simply Poo Boo, but this is incorrect. Both releases have the same title and front cover art (baby photo of "Beaux J. Poo Boo," i.e., Les McCann), and identical music content.
