Seldom showing up in this condition in the '500' series white and red demos, here's a very nice original 1965 demo copy of this great tune from MARTHA AND THE VANDELLAS with "YOU'VE BEEN IN LOVE TOO LONG" on the UK TAMLA MOTOWN imprint TMG 530 and backed with "LOVE (MAKES ME DO FOOLISH THINGS)".

This copy truly remains in mint minus condition and plays superbly throughout with top audible quality and with minimal crackle on the run-in and run-out groove and with the lightest of surface sleeve rubs not affecting play in any way. It has the 4-prong centre intact and the labels are clean on both sides with just the odd minor blemish and not spoiled by any written radio station annotations and with very light spindle wear. Paired with an original company paper sleeve and very much a top copy for the DJ or to grace any collection (see picture scans).

The record has been play graded and is from my personal collection that I'm downsizing so why not check out my other listings for more great sounds. Postage discounts available for multiple purchases with up to three 45's shipped at the single record rate. In this case, please save to basket and request total from seller and wait for invoice before making payment.

As this record will sell for an amount in excess of standard Royal Mail compensation levels, it will be shipped in a stiffened card outer by Royal Mail Special Delivery "B4-1" service only at a cost of £8.75 in the UK. Because of the ever increasing cost of international postage, overseas shipments will only be sent via the eBay Global Shipments Program. This provides protection for both parties in the unlikely event of loss.

Please be aware that feedback will always be left but only after first receiving the same.
