I"M BACK WITH SOME REAL GOOD 45s - This is a reasonably priced ORIGINAL 1966 U.S. CONDA RECORDS 45 (NOT THE RECENT 'GARAGE GREATS' REPRO) containing the 1960s garage classics titled 'Baby'/'Love, Love, Love' from Florida garage band The Tasmanians.  It is Conda Records U.S. catalog number 101, green labels with black print.   My understanding is that this 45 is a 'holy grail' type item of which only a few copies are known to exist.  Opening bid price is based on a survey in Popsike of the few previous eBay sales of this 45.  Condition of record is VG with some surface marks, none of which can be felt and none of which affect play, and a few surface scuffs and small surface scratches which can be felt and which cause a few slight ticks and a little scattered hissing surface noise, no skips - Record plays through very nicely at a mid VG+ level with the aforementioned little bit of light scattered surface noise and slight ticks.  Labels have some contact wear, no other real problems.  This extremely rare 'holy grail' 45 would be a crowning addition to any 1960s garage 45 record collection!  Winning bidder pays $3.50 first class mail postage or actual priority mail postage within the U.S.  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - REGISTERED WITH SIGNATURE DELIVERY FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (24.50) is $27.70 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!   WINNING BIDDER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the 45 if winning bidder is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
