Charles wright " A lil encouragement " question

i believe this set from Charles Wright from 1975 on ABC only exists on 8 track and not as a vinyl LP. Can anyone please confirm if this is true ?

Is there no interest in Charles Wright ? Really would be grateful for some sort of response...

I am sure it came out on vinyl.

Do a web search for Charles Wright. The album appears on several sites. Unfortunately, the cover wasn't shown on any sites. The label is listed as ABC/Dunhill in 1975. Billboard incorrectly lists the artist as Charles Wright & the 103rd St Watts Rhythm Band. Marketing something as 8-track only would have been short sighted and excluded sales in 1975. The album most likely did come out on vinyl.

Thank you both for your replies. I have been collecting soul LPs for over 40 years and have never seen a copy in a shop or on a list. I have also seen that the album appears on sites but I remain unconvinced it ever came out on LP, particularly as no sites show photos. I agree it was a really bizarre decision to only release it on 8 track, but unless I see incontrovertible evidence that the LP does exist I will conclude that it was indeed 8 track only.
