Description
Here is a MEGA RARE vintage lp album from my collection offered up for sale: The Miracles debut 1st album, "Hi We're The Miracles" released on June 16th 1961 by Tamla Records 220 (Mono), has white labels. This is Motown's first album by their first group which established their legendary sound, super collectable! Great music features Smokey Robinson, many HIT songs "Shop Around", "Who's Lovin You", "Money (that's what I want)" and morel! This record has a high book value ($150-$250 Osbourne) and side one plays OK but side two has problems, so it is priced accordingly. This is a SCARCE and historic record. If you are looking for a great playing record... please buy a reissue!
The vinyl record rates GOOD-, (it was taken to the party many times) has lots of light marks and a few feel-able scratches, a light warp that can be seen on side two, has been PLAY TESTED. Side one (amazingly) still plays good from start to finish, clear sound with lots of light pops, but no skips or jumps (on my player). Side two does not play well. Song one played with some louder pops, song two has repeating and needle needs to be moved past it, songs three and four had a few quick jumps, song five played without jumps.
The cover rates VG, front is clean and bright with gloss, has great portrait image of the band, edges and corners have wear and old tape marks, binder edge is not readable, all seams have been neatly re-taped, back has faint signature, all info is readable. (see all photos)
Will be shipped in a .3ml plastic sleeve in a record box with tracking. Vinyl will be shipped in paper sleeve outside cover to prevent cover splits. This item will be double-boxed for extra protection. Check my eBay store "Groove Vibrations Vintage Records" for more collectable record gems!
