Bethea the Maskman "Stand Up" b/w "Ghetto Lovve" 45 rpm record (B.B.C. 679; mono). This rare 1960s funk record, which did not make the Billboard Top 100 pop charts, is an original pressing that plays in VG to VG+ condition. There is surface noise but the music dominates. The artist is Harmon Bethea of the group Maskman and the Agents. The yellow labels, which have light ring wear, are otherwise clean, with no writing, stickers or tears. Winner pays $4 for 1st Class Mail or $7 for Priority postage in the U.S. Postage is $10 to Canada for up to three (3) 45s, or $15 for up to three (3) 45s sent to any other location outside the U.S. Double record sets count as two, triple sets count as three, etc. PLEASE NOTE: The U.S. Post Office on Jan. 27, 2013, more than doubled the cost of mailing one 45 out of the country, so my current international shipping rates reflect that big increase. I will make no profit from these higher mailing costs. Multiple purchases shipped simultaneously result in big postage savings. Please visit my ebay store (Bud's Music) to check out hundreds more soul and other 45s, LPs and CDs.
