From 1967, this item is Van Morrison's very first BILLBOARD hit, which reached the #10 position in August of that year -- "Brown Eyed Girl / Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye)", Bang 545. Old store stock. This copy of BANG 545 is the much harder-to-find LARGE/BOLD lettering variation (see pics below). The record itself is in a beautiful NEAR MINT~UNPLAYED (Vinyl looks BRAND NEW!) condition with its original shiny, mirror-like playing surface. The labels are in NEAR MINT condition with only the very slightest trace of any wear. The record is housed in the sleeve shown in the picture unless otherwise noted. This 45 RPM comes in a plain brown sleeve. See my "About Me" page for my grading scale. ALL my 45 RPM's and Picture Sleeves are housed in their own individual 7" protective plastic sleeves. In the case of a 45 RPM having a Picture Sleeve the 45 RPM is housed in a 7" white paper sleeve. My 45 RPM's have been kept separate from their Picture Sleeves since I purchased them. Also, in most cases where there is not a Picture Sleeve, my 45 RPM's are housed in their original company paper sleeve. I hope that the picture will show how nice this highly collectable VAN MORRISON 45 RPM with label variation really is! If you have any questions, please email me. At this price and in this condition, it really is a HARD-TO-FIND item!
