We the People - When I Arrive *Promo *Classic*

I'm getting older, and my body's starting to fall apart, so it's time to part with some of my collection. Offered for your consideration is this demo 45 by We the People: When I Arrive/Ain't Gonna Find Nobody. This is one of the best danceable garage records ever. I imagine kids all over Jacksonville would stop traffic whenever WAPE blasted this thing out.

Grading this thing is something of a challenge. After all, look at the label in the scan. The reverse is the same, so this thing obviously got wet somewhere along the way. Well, thank goodness water doesn't affect the vinyl the same way. I bought this a dealer yard sale many years ago and his grading of "VG+" is still written on the RCA paper sleeve that houses it. Well, it looks pretty much like it, and plays pretty much like it. But you can't get away from that label. Apply your own deductions as your label conscience allows.

The usual surface noise on the dead wax areas. Ears younger and better than mine may detect it during playback, but I wouldn't bet on it.

A few words about shipping. Now that PayPal forces sellers to have delivery confirmation to prevent lost claims I will only use services that provide tracking. In the US that means media rate w/confirmation or Priority Mail. For ANYWHERE else it means USPS Express Mail International. My experiences with international mail (particularly the UK Royal Mail) have been problematic recently and I've had to use the tracking more than once. Sorry, but I can't afford to take losses because of carrier incompetence or deliberate fraud by unscrupulous buyers. Yes, I know it's expensive, but unless you are willing to put in writing that you waive all PayPal buyer protection that's how it is.

As for returns, I don't offer them. My feedback is 100% and I grade conservatively using both Goldmine and Jerry Osborne standards. If you receive the item and disagree with my grading please let me know. Since grading is very subjective, I will try to make us both satisfied. Payment expected within 7 days.

Thanks for looking. Bid early and often!
