Please make sure you're happy with the shipping costs before bidding.

Please be mindful of this when leaving feedback. Thank you for your understanding.

Always a hard one to find on a demo, here's a very nice original 1966 white and red demo copy of this classic hit tune from JR. WALKER & THE ALL STARS with "HOW SWEET IT IS (TO BE LOVED BY YOU)" on the UK TAMLA MOTOWN imprint TMG 571 and backed with "NOTHING BUT SOUL".

This copy remains in a strong excellent plus condition (playing as mint minus) and plays perfectly 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. 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 moderate spindle wear. Paired with an original company paper sleeve making this a lovely 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 the record will likely exceed minimum compensation levels for Tracked 48, it will be shipped in a stiffened card outer by Royal Mail Large Letter "Special Delivery Before 1" service only at a cost of £9.50 in the UK which provides protection for both parties in the unlikely event of loss. Due to the ever increasing cost of international mail, overseas shipments can only be purchased via the eBay "Global Shipping Program".

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