Very nice copy of this sweet soul and psychedelic soul/funk two-sider by a group that evolved out of remnants of the Sheppards.

I grade on a 10 point scale, with 10 being perfect in every way, down to 1 for something that got run over by a truck. The vinyl grades 7- on the 'Lovers side'- glossy with a lot of sleeve scratches most of which come before the grooves start, and three about 1 inch or shorter scratches/scuffs which might cause some intermittent clicks,  unfortunately. One of those scuffs is partially feelable. Listen below, though- the result isn't very distracting.  In fact, it actually sounds better than the last one sold on eBay, which was listed as 'vg++' (try 'completed listings after searching for 'Satagans' to see and hear it...)
On 'Smokin', I'd grade the vinyl 7.5. Fewer visible and audible issues. The labels grade at 9 (they are a bit more ocher colored in real life than in the scan). 
Don't be put off by my lack of detailed feedback- I am an experienced collector and have been buying and selling on eBay for more than 20 years. I stopped selling regularly about 10 years ago, but a check of my seller feed- back will show hundreds of satisfied customers and numerous expensive items (almost all of them 45's) sold  when I did sell regularly. I am a conservative grader!
Plays beautifully on my system: V15IV MR stylus, Dual CS-5000 turntable. But you don't have to take my word for it (you will have to highlight the links and open in a new tab):

I use pro 45 mailers and only ship first class in the US. eBay doesn't allow me to make insurance optional so if this is an issue for you please contact me prior to paying. Outside the US, this item will ship USPS International  Priority mail- it's expensive, but relatively fast and secure and provides tracking. 
International customers: you can't have it both ways! I can declare a minimal value, but if (I certainly hope NOT!)  something were to go wrong with the mailing, then the various postal services will only refund that minimal value.
