RARE NORTHERN SWEET SOUL
DON HART & JAMES SHORTER on LA BEAT
I SHED A TEAR bw ALL THE LOVE I GOT
Strong VG+ Condition
Fantastic ballad on the A-side backed with a Northern soul uptempo dancer. Record is in excellent condition, there is a Drill Hole as well as a name written on the label but it plays with robust sound and fidelity. Vinyl is still very glossy. These are becoming very hard to find and especially in this condition. Happy bidding.
Hear Sound clip below
See legend below for grading and abbreviations
I try to grade conservatively:
M-
Maybe one or to light marks on the vinyl, clean labels. Looks almost new and sounds great with clean fidelity.
VG++
A few very light marks, with plenty of gloss on the vinyl, unfaded labels with o ring wear. Still sounds clean.
VG+
Some light scuffs still plenty of gloss, labels may show some ring wear and fading, but still a very well taken care of record. May have some slight hiss.
VG
Will show several marks and scuffs with minimal shine and worn labels. Will have hissing and pops when listening but not enough to overpower the music.
VG-
Will have no gloss and many surface marks. Labels may be obscurred with writing as well. Lots of pops and hissing surface noise.
DNAP = Does Not Affect Play
WOL = Writing on Label
DH = Drill hole
RW = Ring wear
CE = Chipped edge
Warp = Record is warped
Payment
All items must be paid for within 7 after the auction ends, NO EXCEPTIONS. Any items not paid for within that time frame will be relisted.
Shipping
I go to the post office on Tuesday and Friday that is when items will be shipped. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS note that I charge a flat fee of $15 however, I will add tracking upon your request if you are willing to pay the additional $12. If you wish to add the tracking then you must request a total so that I may send you an invoice including the cost of the tracking; the same goes for insurance.
I Do Not End Auctions Early, So Please Don’t Ask.
