NOLA & THE SOUL ROCKERS 'Reach Down' PRIVATE soul/funk NC 45 on GOLDLEAF

$

136

For sale is a nice example of rare soul 45 "Reach Down And Get It/Center of My Heart," original OG press on the Goldleaf label, No 010. 
Condition:
Label on "Reach Down And Get It" side has two magic marker X's on it, as well as a date written in ink. Labels otherwise very clean. Vinyl on "Reach Down And Get It" side rates NM,  "Center of My Heart" side rates VG... looks NM, but a little background noise in parts, more pronounced on last few rotations brings it down to VG.

I have provided a sound clip of the first minute or so of "Reach Down And Get It," one of the more provocative titles of 60s soul, but nearly as provocative as the INSANE drum break that begins the song. 

This is one of several superior condition soul 45s I am selling from the estate of a man who ran a gospel/Christian radio station from his basement in the 1960s. Many non-gospel labels sent him promos, which he impeccably kept in filing cabinets until his estate sale last Fall, where I acquired this. Please see my other listings for more amazing, original / OG pressings from the same estate, mostly soul, psych, funk and Latin. 

My grading system:

STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition. 

M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.

M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade. 

NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection

VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.

VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections

VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.  

VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better. 

GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
