Description

Well folks, we have an incredibly rare find for you here today. For your consideration, Wanda McDaniel and the Ultimate Choice. As far as I can tell this 45 has never appeared on eBay before. This record seems to pass through more private buys or trades. This makes for an amazing opportunity for all northern soul collectors worldwide! The information on this 45 is scant, some saying there were only 300 made back in 1977. This is on the Appleray label out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This record was meant as a promotional tool for the label, featuring musicians and producers from Pittsburgh and New Castle, Pennsylvania. Supposedly, a musician from Youngstown, Ohio was part of this recording and went on to be a member of The Edsels. I found this record in the Youngstown area, so maybe there is some truth in this rumor. Who knows how many copies of this record even exist nowadays. I read on a UK soul forum that 5 are known to exist, but I'm not sure if that's an honest number or not. More information concerning this 45 can be found at this link.

With the background covered, let's get to condition. This 45 is in absolutely stunning shape. I can say that I have played it twice now, but prior to that I'd say this 45 was totally unplayed. The vinyl is just gorgeous. The labels are extremely clean, aside from a light stain above the background credits on the Gangster Boy side. I cannot stress how great the shape is on this 45. It plays like a dream on my Dual 1019, with a Pickering XSV-3000. There is no reserve on this auction, just so everyone knows. PayPal only. I ask that international buyers contact me prior to bidding to discuss shipping. Message me with any other questions or concerns. Thanks!
