Titles: For Real b/w Instrumental
Label: see photo, original issue, the "A Collectors Production" note that appears on all copies was erased and crossed out on the label, I would imagine by Richard Flowers himself
Record Condition: strong VG++, couple inconsequential sleeve marks visible under close scrutiny. Plays pretty much perfect. A lot of dealers would have graded this NM or NM- but I didn't want anyone to be disappointed. I soundclipped all of side 1 so you can hear for yourself.
Listen: Soundclip

Note:  Hearing this song years ago on the Soul Spectrum V. 2 comp, I always knew this song was a beast. But finally hearing an original copy pretty much blew me away. There's really no comparison, and I wish I could afford to keep this for myself. I'd have to say this is one of the pinnacles of sophisticated 70s soul. Check my other auctions this week for an extensive list of 45s, all with soundclips, and most starting at $8 with no reserves! All soundclips are recorded directly from the record with no alteration to sound.

Grading: I grade conservatively on a scale of NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G.
