  Here is one of the very rarest early Motown 45s-- by Saundra Mallett & The Vandellas:  "Camel Walk" b/w "It's Gonna Be Hard Times" . This is the elusive original USA 1962 release on Tamla 54067!!   The disc appears unplayed!!  However there are issues with the label.  The paper is intact but there are areas of cracking, bubbling, and wear on both sides - but more noticeable on the Camel Walk side.  Again, the record surface itself is unaffected- only the paper has issues (most likely from how it was stored).   We spoke to the dealer who originally purchased the lot -he said all had some degree of label damage.  There will be no returns for label condition.   We had misplaced the certificate stating that this 45 was purchased at the "Motown Mansion Estate Sale" in 2017- this documentation was just found!!  We were also informed that this impossibly rare title accounted for only about two dozen of the total 45s found and that all copies had label damage.. For you Motown completists this is one of the big ones!!   Will be shipped with its original black Tamla company sleeve.  SHIPPING within the USA via USPS Insured Priority Mail  with Signature Confirmation is $12.00-- elsewhere please see the shipping calculator.  Shipment outside the USA will be via ebay International Shipping. Overseas buyers are responsible for all import duties and taxes so please be aware of these costs before buying.  Please see our other listings for phono and other electronics items as we are happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases!!
