RARE MOTOWN
MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS
LIVE WIRE / OLD LOVE (LET’S TRY IT AGAIN)
STATESIDE SS272
RELEASED 1964
This was Martha & The Vandellas fifth release both in the US and in the U.K. and followed ‘Heatwave’ and ‘Quicksand’. I bought this brand new at the time and it has been in my vast collection of Soul, R&B and Blues records ever since.
The eagle-eyed among you might have noticed that the flip side ‘Old Love (Let’s Try It Again) was also the flip side of Mary Wells’ You Beat Me To The Punch’. A chance to compare Martha and Mary!
Both sides of the record play absolutely perfectly. Visibly, the record looks very clean. Over 57 years it has been played and handled a few times but, as I have said, plays perfectly. I can hear no extraneous surface noise. There is no handwriting on the record and I have graded it as Excellent (EX). [Any reflections in the photos are caused by the surroundings and are not on the vinyl.]
The record is in it’s original sleeve, which has no tears. Over 57 years the sleeve has been handled quite a bit but is in remarkably good condition. The only very small bit of handwriting on the sleeve is it’s catalogue number (272) written by me in the top right-hand corner on the front and SS272 written on the back by the record shop. I have graded the sleeve as Very Good+.
The well packaged record will be despatched by Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully insured, at a subsidised cost of £5.
I always endeavour to combine postage where possible.
U.K. delivery only.
