Description

Please make sure you're happy with the shipping costs before bidding. Due to past claims for non delivery, I will now only ship by secure "Signed For" service in line with eBay recommended policy with tracking number provided for peace of mind. Please be mindful of this when leaving feedback. Thank you for your understanding.

Here's a nice original US first issue copy of this classic tune from BEN E. KING with "I CAN'T BREAK THE NEWS TO MYSELF" on the USA Atco imprint 45-6390 and backed with "GOODNIGHT MY LOVE".

This copy remains in excellent condition and plays perfectly throughout with good audible quality albeit with some recording level distortion that's barely noticable on the 'A' side but more evident on the slower tempo 'B' side and with minimal crackle on the run-in and run-out groove and with very light surface sleeve rubs. The labels are very clean on both sides and not spoiled by a deletion drill hole and with minimal ring wear. Paired with an original company sleeve and still a very decent copy for the DJ or collector. Starting price is reflective of the fault described (see picture scans).

The record has been play graded and is from my personal collection that I'm downsizing so why not check out my other listings for more great sounds. Postage discounts available for multiple purchases with up to three 45's shipped at the single record rate. In this case, please save to basket and request total from seller and wait for invoice before making payment.

The record will be shipped in a stiffened card mailer by Royal Mail Large Letter First Class "Signed For" Service only at a cost of £3.25 in the UK or, overseas by "Signed For" service at the costs indicated. This provides protection for both parties in the unlikely event of loss.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FEEDBACK WILL ALWAYS BE LEFT BUT ONLY AFTER FIRST RECEIVING THE SAME.
