1966 French original release, gorgeous exclusive hard cardboard laminated picture sleeve.

I've included sound clips (MP3) so you can judge the condition by yourself.
See my other Motown & Soul rarities, please.

Listen to the audio clips of both sides below:
Audio is taken directly from vinyl, recorded in 56 kbps only in order to reduce download times. This means the sound might be a bit dull. The record sounds much clearer!

Record Grading System:
M: (Mint=as new, unplayed).
EX: (Excellent=near a perfect copy, played only a few times).
VG: (Very Good=The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratches, nothing really serious).
G: (Good=played a lot, background noise in the quieter moments, no jumps, skips, hisses, etc.. Still a good copy for djing) .

Picture Sleeve Grading System:
M: (Mint=as new)
EX: (Excellent=has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect).
VG (Very good=will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, decent writing on or a slight seam-split).
G: (Good=may have heavy writing on, seam splits, tape, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object).
F: (Fair=the cover barely keeps the record inside it).

I list records both in U.K. pounds and in U.S. dollars, sometimes in Euros. This shouldn't stop anyone to place a bid, I mean you're welcome to combine purchases whatever the currency is!
