Description
Mo-Bay Records 121571. Rope (Dig It) / Your Turn. I've been digging through boxes of 45's in the Philadelphia are for the last 30+ years and this is the first copy I've ever seen. The group consisted of John Bartram High School students, Class of 1966. One member was Frankie Smith who would have a big hit with "Double Dutch Bus" in 1981. This 45 was recorded by Frank Virtue at Virtue Studios in Philadelphia. It was his custom to make the matrix number be the date of the recording. Going by that, the recording date was December 15, 1971.
The 45 grades VG++ with full gloss. Both sides play cleanly and quietly from beginning to the end. Sound clips of both sides have been provided at the bottom of this listing.
Save on shipping with multiple wins. For domestic shipping each additional 45 is 25 cents. For international shipping I need to calculate based on weight. The rate increase can be dramatic. As an example an 8 oz. package costs $14.00 and a 9 oz. package costs $23.50. That kind of jump makes no sense to me but that's the USPS for you. If bidding on multiple items just request an invoice when you're done and I'll send an invoice with the adjusted shipping.
The US Postal service increased shipping rates again on 1/27/19. Please check shipping cost before bidding. Thanks.
GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus: My top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
VG++ : Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record.
VG+ : The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG : Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. VG does not mean beat.
VG Minus : The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered.
Good : Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale. Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com
