This is a test pressing of the upcoming officially licensed release that is due out around the end of the year. Released by us The 'In' Groove. This will be a very small run of 500! This was sourced from the original analog tape and pressed on vinyl. Now is your chance to score one of the very few test pressings for this upcoming release. And now some history....Produced by Hadley "Who Loves You Madley" Murrell on 2/24/67 at Audio Recorders Of Arizona in Studio B with Dave "The Cosmic Water Buffalo" Oxman at the controls.  The original disc was pressed at Wakefield Manufacturing in Phoenix, in June of 1967, house # sjw 9679.  There were only two discs released on the Wind Hit label, the other by Roy and The Dew Drops.  Both records are very collectible these days, with "Helping Hand" a highly sought after record in the UK by Northern Soul aficionados.  Both sides were written by Murrell and lead singer James Mitchell.  The backing band are The LBJ's from Oakland, who came here to gig with The Whispers and stayed on for a year here working for Hadley. After Murrell moved his operations to the West Coast in 1968 "Need A Helping Hand" was re-released on the Pathway label with "My Turn" on the backside.  In 2001 Grapevine in the UK licensed a re-release from Murrell, and that disc is now very collectible.

WE USE THE FOLLOWING SCALE FOR OUR STRICT, VISUAL GRADING OF VINYL: SS (STILL SEALED) Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.  M (MINT) Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. NM-  (NEAR MINT) The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.  VG++ (VERY GOOD ++) Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.  VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.  VG (VERY GOOD) Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible.   G (GOOD) Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.
