On offer is the Sam & Dave Northern Soul US Import 7" Single "Soothe Me" from 1967.
From the long slow intro this builds into the superb midtempo dancer that is hugely popular. Written and originally recorded by the late great Sam Cooke. The B-Side is the original ballad version of the Elvis Costello & The Attractions 1980 hit. Co-written by Homer Banks. Both tracks were recorded live at the London Palladium although you can't tell on the B-Side.
This is the original US Import release on the Stax label.
TRACKS:
SIDE A: Soothe Me (Live)
SIDE B: I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down (Live)
Has the import drill hole through the labels and a little damage to the A-Side label only (see scan)
LABEL/CAT.NO: US Stax 45-218
Has some light surface marks especially on the B-Side that produce a little background noise in places. GRADED: VG+

UK 2nd Class Postage £3.00. EEC Airmail £5.50. Rest Of The World Airmail £7.00.
