Here we offer a clean & shiny strong EX+ ORIGINAL U.S. Atco 6402 white label demo-promo 45 featuring "Help Me - Part I" b/w "Help Me - Part II" by Ray Sharpe (with the King Curtis Orchestra), issued in 1966. Jimi Hendrix is noted by many sources to have played guitar on this Sharpe track. And what a fantastic original 45...from a private collection of sould demo 45s, most of which appear to be unplayed, or very seldom played. Please note that during manufacturing, the label folded on the B-side, so the II from Part II is "folded" under. This super nice 45 would be an upgrade for most!

NON-U.S. Bidders PLEASE read ALL the details below BEFORE bidding, but the MOST IMPORTANT is that ANY 7" or 45 record selling for $22.99 or more MUST be shipped 1st Class INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED ($14.95) (or Priority International at our option) for YOUR protection & OURS! THEREFORE this 45 MUST be shipped REGISTERED (numbered parcel, BUYER must sign for at delivery or pick-up, CAN be tracked by the United States postal service IF necessary) & carries some insurance). This FIRST CLASS REGISTERED shipping appears as Expedited Int'l Shipping since eBay does NOT offer REGISTERED FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL as an option, so the delivery WILL NOT really be expedited! Your parcel WILL be shipped VERY quickly, but it can take 5 to 21 days average for European & Asian delivery, as that depends on how LONG Customs holds your parcel & your local postal service! PLEASE...if you have ANY questions about this, please CONTACT US through eBay. And if you do NOT agree or understand these terms, it would be BEST NOT to bid on the item. We do NOT "make" money on shipping & handling charges...MOST of the time we LOSE money on shipping!
