Brief Comments: Loyall, Kentucky right on the border of West Virginia, to the furthest southeast corner of the state, is where this killer group came from, and recorded. Influenced by friends / contemporaries "The Outcasts", and "The Kicking Mustangs", also from the border area, known for their killer 45's on Plato (check those out! I wish I had a copy haha), that unique sort of Kentucky-West Virginia garage funk soul sound, James Brown meets the Remains, with a distinct soul influence. Chicago's early (heavy underrated records!) lp's influenced the area with continual radio play, and the cover of "California Purples", is absolutely killer, it's better than the original, or at least, if you dig raw garage funk, with a psychedelic soul tinge, and a monster open drum break (peep the clip! No one knows about it, no clip on YouTube, virtually unknown), but this is no one-sider, the A-Side "The Last Time" is heavy funk rock garage soul, it's a killer double-sider, one that only in the last few months even had a Discogs page made, it's still "unknown", no copy has shown up....until now! 
Bread & Butter didn't get a chance to record for Plato, it had folded in 1968, shortly after they formed, so they created a micro label out of Loyall called "LPVM Records" in 1970, putting this out in early 71. 
Rare as hen's teeth, you'd be more likely to acquire a copy of The Outcasts incredible 45 on Plato, very few were pressed up, and whatever survived scattered to the wind (this was found at a Wheeling, West Virginia former radio station DJ's basement, other diggers copped his Plato 45's, but the guy was super nice, and said, but I do have this, if you like them; his only copy sadly....)
Enjoy this ultra rare Kentucky 45, it may be a long while before another shows up my friends :)
 

*Tariffs aren't going to impact used vinyl records / music media, we wish they were never in place at all, so for international buyers, don't worry on that account!
For our record grading, we stand by the merits outlined in the scale below, anything VG or below will have a detailed explanation in brackets next to the grade.
For sleeves, we will mention anytime there is split, or defect not visible in the photos in brackets next to the grade, otherwise we refer to the photos for the merit of the grade. Of course any questions, concerns, are always welcome :) 
Our media grading scale is as follows: [*Quick note, our VPI is still in storage on the other side of the US, we do brush clean many  items carefully, but we have to prioritize, we won't leave anyone stranded with a filthy record, only "filthy" good! We don't factor dust particles into the grading]
NM = Essentially a pristine album, like new, rarely used.
EX = Under bright light if there is any scuffs or mark, which will be inaudible, most collectors and sellers would tend to consider it closer to NM, EX is also the grade others might call VG++ under the same level of conservative scrutiny.
VG+ = More then a small handful of scuffs, light marks, nothing feelable, will have high-gloss, a thoroughly enjoyable copy that may only have tiny moments of barely perceptible surface noise overpowered by the music. Our VG+ will satisfy the vast majority of collectors as a nice keeper copy, as collector's ourselves for nearly two decades, this grade is aimed to be a great keeper. Note if say the record has a light DNAP warp, but otherwise is NM, we will automatically put it to VG+ and detail that. Another scenario is if a copy plays at a solid EX, but visually is VG, the composite grade will be VG+, and detailed as such.
VG = More hairlines, more marks, maybe a few visible scratches, no more then two feelable scratches (which automatically lowers to VG-), there likely will be surface noise, but will play through, still being an enjoyable copy, the audio quality will satisfy most collector's (the golden rule: if it doesn't satisfy us, it won't be VG), if a record is otherwise EX, but has a slight momentary skip, where 99% of the record is EX, we will note that, and put it at VG. Usually will retain a nice gloss.
VG- = More Scratches than VG, surface noise will jump out more, it be overpowered for longer stretches, or compete with the music in places, it will likely play all the way through on most turntables, a copy that you can still get a decent play enjoyment from.
G+ = Lots of scratches, deeper ones, surface noise now mostly overpowers or competes with the music. It may skip in some places. We don't tend to sell G+ copies, unless the rarity is so great, and that will be precisely detailed.
Thrashed = Pretty much a "Theoretical Grade" for us, it be for all intents & purposes virtually unplayable, it would be for display purposes, or perhaps if you needed the cover but not the record. It's "theoretical" because so far we haven't sold or identified anything intended to sell at this bottom level.
