Charlie Jones - Paradoxes Confusing Me [Sum-Ma] 1981 Obscure Soul Funk 45

Charlie Jones - Paradoxes Confusing Me Sum-Ma Records # 1761. Released in 1981. Great obscure soul funk 45 with the message. Discogs said that originally it appeared on Charlie Jones LP "Everybody's Business Is Nobody's Business" on Askia Records from 1976. But in the interview that you can read here: http://www.soulexpress.net/charlie_jones.htm , Charlie Jones mentioned that he's debut solo album was "Songs Of Love, Life And Re-Ality" that he have produced and released himself in 1982-83 on his private label Sum-Ma Records. "Sum-ma" means a person that really goes after what he wants. Tracklisting of both lps are almost the same, so maybe the '76 Askia Records release is the bootleg? Anyway "Paradoxes Confusing Me" was released on 45 only in 1981, despite it sounds more like an early 70's recording. Vinyl rip from musicdawn 45's record collection.
