Description

Bernard Smith & Jokers Wild  Gotta Be A Reason/ 39-21-46  Groove 504

Here is an original pressing from 1968. Upon release this masterpiece quickly faded into obscurity. It received little to no airplay in the Jokers Wild hometown of Richmond, VA. 500 copies pressed -  most were likely throw away. A dozen years ago no surviving band members seemed to have a copy.

Condition:  Visually a clean VG+; very light scratches, none deep. Mastered by Frankford/Wayne. Plays great. Labels near Mint.   Gotta Be A Reason plays near Mint with no noise.     
39 - 21 - 46 plays VG++ with only 3 or 4 pops on the fade.
Shipping & Handling: US/Canada - $4.00 1st Cl. USPS w/ Tracking                                        Worldwide/Overseas: - $9.00  USPS Air Mail

Note: There is a RESERVE on this record. This is due to rarity and the fact that some items on ebay sell for a higher price when condition is not so great. Then a lower price when it is great. This one is GREAT and therefore has a reserve.

*** Please check out my other items, including the CD series Ol' Virginia Soul. Part 1 includes Gotta Be A Reason and a bit of history on the Jokers Wild and many more.  Best price on ebay.
