The Constellations:
I Didn’t Know How To c/w Popa Daddy
Gemini Star Records 8662-BW, 1968
We’re having a bit of a clearout of stuff at home so I’ve put my usual eBay sales of art and ephemera mostly to one side for a couple of weeks. I’ve got a large personal collection of vinyl, lots of which I don’t play any more, so one of the things we will be selling is records. This week I’m listing a small number of Northern Soul singles.
This is a decent, original American copy of this classic single on Gemini Star Records. The “A” side has some slight surface scratches which I can’t really hear when it plays. The “B” side doesn't have any real visible marks at all but is slightly crackly. There crackling on the run-in and run-out grooves on both sides but that is par for the course on US singles in my experience. The labels are clean and bright but there is a slight scratch to the through the title on the “A” side, as you can see in the images. The record has a pop-in centre. The label area has been punched through, which I think indicates that the record was once “remaindered” in the USA. It is in a new plain white sleeve.
This is an expensive record to buy now. I've given it a very good starting price to reflect the fact that it isn't perfect.

Please note: I will not respond to requests to close the auction early regardless of the value of the offer made. Ending early is contrary to both the principle and spirit of an auction. It is also unfair to other eBayers who may be watching the auction intending to bid at a later time.
