For sale is a nice example of rare soul 45 "All Of My Life/Mister Hip" by Detroit Soul on the Music Town label, 45-502. Orignal first pressing, Matrix MTR-205, MTR-206 in the run-out wax.
"All Of My Life" side date of 10/4/67 written in blue ink on label. Otherwise minor wear on labels. Vinyl on "All Of My Life" side rates VG+, owing to a light recurring click on three rotations about two-thirds of the way through. "Mister Hip" side rates NM. 

A superior example of this 45. Please see my other listings for some more rare soul up this week from the remarkable collection of a 1960s DJ who ran a radio station out of his basement in the 1960s. 
My grading scale:

STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition. 


M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.


M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade. 


NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection


VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (sleeve scuffs, faint scratches or other superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.


VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections


VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.  


VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better. 


GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.

I've had a couple questions as to whether this has the Frankford/Wayne stamp in the deadwax. It does. Please see additional picture.
