Description
Up for auction is a wonderful and very rare Soul 45 from the Temptones. Record is graded poor. Nearly full gloss but many other issues. Some staining/fading of portions of the vinyl, bit of a warp, and most importantly a through crack that cuts through about 3/4 of the playable grooves. Normally I wouldn't think of listing anything with this many issues, but the problem is it actually plays really well (check sound clips below from the actual 45 for sale below because I didn't believe it myself until I heard it). Sorry I don't have the software to pull audio directly to my computer so I had to record a video and the ambient sound from my cellular phone. Not ideal, to be sure, but I wanted to give you an idea of just how strong this one plays even with all the issues.
Labels are faded (seems light the blue dye Arctic Records used wasn't very durable because many of the old Arctic 45s I've had seem to look like white label promos these days). Labels also have some stains.
I realize that the damage to this record will scare off all collectors and probably most other bidders too, but I figured maybe someone is out there who just wants the music. And for the music, this is perfect because it sounds great!
