Description
For sale is a stellar original / OG example of rare Northern Soul 45, "The Ice-Man / The Blue And The Lonely" by Billy Watkins on the orange ERA label, BSN-627, promotional copy.
Condition:
Label on "The Blue And Lonely" side has date "8/2/67" written in ink. Labels otherwise very clean. Vinyl on "The Ice-Man" side rates NM, The Blue And The Lonely VG++.
My grading system:
STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.
M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.
M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.
NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection
VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.
VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections
VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.
VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.
GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
This is one of several superior condition soul 45s I am selling from the estate of a man who ran a gospel/Christian radio station from his basement in the 1960s. Many non-gospel labels sent him promos, which he impeccably kept in filing cabinets until his estate sale last Fall, where I acquired this. Please see my other listings for more amazing, original / OG pressings from the same estate, mostly soul, psych, funk and Latin.
