PATRICE HOLLOWAY - STOLEN HOURS/MY BOY LUCKY [US CAPITOL 5680/UK CAPITOL PAT)

Label: Capitol 5680 / Capitol PAT Titles: "Stolen Hours" & "Lucky, My Boy" Release Year: 1966
Fans of R&B and Northern Soul are well versed with the Holloway name. Patrice Holloway, younger sister of R&B legend Brenda Holloway, also made a huge impact in the world of music. While her career didn't shoot her to the top of the charts like it did for Brenda, her music has made a lasting impression decades later. "Stolen Hours" and "Lucky, My Boy" are both timeless classics. But Patrice Holloway can also be heard elsewhere. She is one of the backing vocalists on Joe Cocker's rendition of "With A Little Help From My Friends." She also enchanted a generation as the vocalist for Valerie on Josie And The Pussycats. She even has some writing credits to her name. One of the biggest hits she co-wrote was Blood, Sweat And Tears' "You've Made Me So Very Happy."
Both the US & the UK Capitol release are included in this auction. The UK copy is near mint and quite pristine with minimal play wear - it looks and plays beautifully. The US copy does have slight label wear, and typical play wear on the vinyl. The most notable wear is on the B side. There is a scratch in the vinyl. I have focused on the scratch in the photos above. While the A side "Stolen Hours" plays through with no issue, the scratch on the B side "Lucky, My Boy" can cause issues. There are times where the record plays through with no glitch. However there are times where play is impacted at the end of the scratch and the needle is drawn back into the groove. I have played it over and over and over and I would say 7 out of 10 times the needle gets caught on that scratch.It is for this reason I am including both copies of the record. I know this is a fantastic record to add to a collection, but to really hear the song through with no impact, the UK copy is best suited for it. You can listen to both of the actual records here.

*Please note - my turntable is a simple ION Profile LP simply for converting media. It is by no means a high end turntable and the sound quality will be MUCH better on a higher end turn table.
All records come with basic sleeves unless a factory or picture sleeve is indicated in the description. I do not use a grading system as I feel that everyone interprets it differently. For example, I see many records listed as being Near Mint, yet the label is torn or has writing on it. To me that is not near mint. I prefer to describe the record as best I can, post photos, and allow viewers to listen to the actual record as to determine for themselves how the record should be graded.
I ship using Media Mail at $3.00 and deliver the day of or after the payment is received. Please remember that shipping costs also include the cost of materials to ship the order. International shipping is available. The cost to ship this Internationally is $12.00.  I will also combine shipping. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible, however recent increases by USPS have affected what I charge to ship - and believe me, I am NOT happy about it.
I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
