Listen above to the actual needle drop of this 45rpm for sale...


This is the start of a rare 45 collection that will be sold on Ebay! These 45's are in beautiful condition and many are WLP R&B/Northern Soul/Blues/Rockabilly and Doo Wop from the late 50-60's.

GENRE:          NORTHERN SOUL  

ARTIST:         THE FIESTAS

LABEL:           Old Town (WLP)

NUMBER:       1178 (Think Smart / Anna)

Wow and ultra rare WLP in beautiful condition. "OT2170" is in the dead wax on the A side and "OT1271"...The ones that have sold on Ebay have ranged between $213-$270 for a WLP version!

Vinyl:
Visual grade: VG++ conservative both sides look amazing, beautiful luster, with only light sleeve wear no scratches. Will be difficult to find a cleaner copy.  This is an archival copy for the collector!

Play grade:
VG+strong there is some light crispies on intro and outro but once the song kicks in its great -punchy and dynamic.  Note it was cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and the player above is the actual rip of both sides (you could probably clean it again to reduce light crispies even more).... *Note that no processing or effects on the recorded files, it's a straight needle drop from the actual 45 that is for sale!

Cover:  VG++ original brown sleeve, no splits or tears. Note I will ship the actual 45 in a plain white 45 sleeve to conserve the condition of the vinyl.

Label: VG++ labels are excellent and but please note that Side 2 has the red X and side one has a tad of that red marker. See pics, they look excellent.

Any questions please feel to ask.

This is sale is CONUS only and will be shipped via USPS with tracking.

Note I use 45 cardboard shippers for safe transit with cardboard shipping fillers, the 45 will be shipped a new white inner paper sleeve for preservation (not the original sleeve so it won't split).

I have been a seller on Ebay since 1998 and my credit rating and feedback is excellent!!!

Goldmine grading: 

Vinyl 

Near Mint (NM or M-): Near perfect record and cover. No visible flaws or defects (any manufacturing scuffs should be noted). No unexpected surface noise or other audible issues at normal listening volume. 

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++): Only a very small number of minor flaws present (ex. a couple of faint hairlines, a light scuff). No unexpected surface noise or other audible issues at normal listening volume. Cover shows no significant ring wear, nor seam splits. 

Very Good Plus (VG+): More slight signs of wear but still an excellent condition record that plays well. Any surface noise is very minimal and the record is still an enjoyable listen. No groove wear. Cover may show minor defects including very light ring wear.

Very Good (VG): More obvious wear. Surface noise evident on playing, especially in soft passages, and during a song's intro and fade but never overpowers the music. Ring wear and other defects evident.

Good (G): Worn. Significant surface noise throughout, scratches that produce noise, but will play through without skipping.

Poor (P), or Fair (F): Worn out. Won't play through without skipping or repeating.
