Hard to find 45 by Johnny Freedom (aka Bobby Sykes). Songs are: "Ain't I Right" b/w "My Own Native Land". Original U.S. issue on Sims Records #296 released in 1966. Condition is Excellent (Ain't I Right)/very strong VG near VG+ (My Own Native Land) writing on Ain't It Right sides label. Some fine surface scratches/needle marks on My Own Native Land side.

Both sides written by Marty Robbins. Marty originally recorded the A-side & it was scheduled for single release as Columbia 4-43651 in 1966, but cancelled at the last minute, no doubt due to its far-right political content, with "Right" in the song's title/lyrics having a double meaning. Johnny Freedom's version here is very close to Marty's original Check the soundclip below recorded directly from the actual record being offered here.

Grading Scale:

10: Mint Perfect record, clean gloss, no marks, beautiful in every way. Very few records will make mint.

9: Mint- Very clean, only a few light marks. A great record.

8: Excellent (VG++) Condition between 7 and 9.

7: VG+ Used, but not abused. Light scratches only. Should play, and look very nice with minimal surface noise.

6: VG Looks more used, light to moderate scratches, no gouges, still plays well, some surface noise.

5: VG- A bit rough but will play ok. Fills the collection.

4: G Plays very rough. Has multiple scratches. What a bargain!!

3-2-1: It only goes down from here.

*** I'll gladly take any record back if not satisfied. ***
