Description

For sale is a beautiful original (not a repress) example of Northern soul classic "Try A Little Harder/You Never Do Right (My Baby) by The Fi-dels on the white and green Keymen label, K-106 A/B. Matrix K-106 A, K-106 B.
Condition:
Label on "Try A Little Harder" side has date "4/19/67" written on it. Labels otherwise clean/as-new. Vinyl rates a visual and play-graded NM. A superior example of this rare 45. 

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. 


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.

I've been asked whether the single has an etched "SM" and stamped "11" in the runout wax. Yes, it does. Apologies for not pointing this out before.
