Offered is a Bounty Records (12202 Union Avenue Cleveland, O. 44105) 45 rpm record, no. 7418, featuring "Be Not Dismayed (P.D.)" and "He's My Rock (P.D.)" by The Union Star Gospel Singers of Cleveland, Ohio, produced by LeMas, with Charles Blair as lead on side one and David Lesure as lead on side two.  
Record Graded:  E.  NOTE:  The ink on the label on both sides of the record appeared to have been smeared, and shadow images of the stylized "BOUNTY" appear as though it were stacked atop other records before completely drying.  
The record has "B-7418-A" hand-scratched into the end-groove of side one, and "B-7418-B" hand-scratched into the end-groove of the opposite side.   The record has a stylized "B" (It looks as through a 'B' were attempted to be changed to an 'R') hand scratched into the end-groove of both sides. 
For your consideration, I have uploaded audio recordings of the record.  Side one may be heard at:  http://www.divshare.com/download/12311968-12c; Side two may be heard at: http://www.divshare.com/download/12311969-261.  NOTE:  The record was played on my Garrard GT-35 turntable, with no amp, using a standard receiver (an ancient Magnavox), and recorded on my computer using an audio-capture program--I have not altered the audio in any way, and do not use any type of noise reduction equipment or software.  Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any difficulty hearing the audio, or have any further questions or concerns. 
I use the grading chart reflected below to rate and grade each record offered for sale.  Contact me with any questions prior to bidding.  Thank you for your consideration.
