• GRADING STANDARDS:  Click here to view grading standards
• VINYL GRADE A/B: VG/VG+ // G/VG   play grade
• NOTES: "Let's Get On Down" has some surface blems, starts out of the gate with some brief sizzle, rides through several minor pop/clicks (that tend to be in sync), then continues to more or less ignore any surface imperfections to blast off into a strong funky groove throughout. It definitely plays closer to VG+ than VG, but I'll let you decide. It also has owner's initials written on label.  "Betrothal" is actually labeled as the A Side, and is a soulful love ballad with some nice vocals and backup. It also has surface blems and plays with some background noise and an isolated pop/click, although it played well enough to be enjoyed. I think surface noise more apparent due to softer & slower tune. Odd note: At the very end of song, the group starts playing this strong funky beat groove for a short bit and then suddenly the song ends. Wished we could have heard more.     
• SLEEVE: Generic sleeve provided
• INFO:  The Motown revolution in Detroit made its way to the West Side of the state in this funk/soul rarity from a Grand Rapids, Michigan "mystery group".  The song features flat out funky grooves and funk roots with smooth lead vocals.

                                                                                                PACKAGING & SHIPPING

• All records are packaged in new water-resistant poly mailers and sandwiched between a double layer of cardboard. All records are sent with a generic sleeve, unless the 45 is sold with a picture sleeve. In that case, the record will be sent with a generic sleeve and separated from the picture sleeve to prevent any seam splitting. Both the record and picture sleeve will then be shipped inside of a poly sleeve.
• A shipping discount is available when buying more than one item. You can either request a quote prior to purchase, or purchase multiple items and wait for an invoice with a shipping charge for the combined items.
• Insurance is optional for U.S. shipping and the $1.75 listed on the invoice would provide coverage up to $50. If greater coverage is desired, please advise before making payment and I will send a revised invoice with the correct fee.

• I will not be able to ship items selling for over $50 by First Class Mail International since no insurance or tracking information is available with this freight option. If item value is over $50 you must select either Priority or Express Mail  International to ship your item!
• The first $100 of insurance is free when shipping via Priority Mail and even higher amount via Express Mail,  with additional insurance also available for a fee. The fee is based on the weight of the parcel and the value of the contents, so please request a quote and I will provide that information.
• Import duties, taxes and charges are the buyer's responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Merchandise will not be marked below value or as a "gift".  

                                                                                                           PAYMENT

• Payment is expected within 7 days and if not received a friendly payment reminder will be sent. If there is still no communication after 10 days an unpaid item dispute will then be filed.
• If you purchase an item and are also bidding on another that ends 7-10 days later, please inform me. 

• I am very conservative in grading and typically listen to each record, so all items will be sold as described.  However, if you are not satisfied with an item you've purchased,  please contact me to discuss.
