***EXTREMELY RARE***
THE ONLY KNOWN, ORIGINAL COPY, AVAILABLE!!!!
ONLY A HANDFUL OF THESE VERY RARE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS ON AL KING RECORDS ARE KNOWN TO EXIST. PEOPLE WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ORIGINAL ARE NOT SELLING. THIS DEEP FUNK MASTERPIECE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH ARTHUR MONDAY WHEN IT COMES TO RARITY AND MUSICAL GENIUS. THIS TRACK WAS SAMPLED BY JAY-Z ON HIS AMERICAN GANGSTER LP. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS MONSTER GO TO YOUTUBE AND CHECK IT OUT. YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING. THIS 45 IS SO RARE YOU MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO BUY THE ORIGINAL FOR A VERY LONGTIME...IF EVER! CONDITION IS AS FOLLOWS:
PLAY GRADED USING A BRAND NEW NEEDLE!!!!
SIDE ONE HAS LIGHT AUDIBLE CLICK AT THE BEGINNING. THIS CLICK ONLY LAST FOR A FEW REVOLUTIONS. AT THE POINT WHERE THE MUSIC KICKS IN IT FADES OUT COMPLETELY. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT, ISOLATED, NOT CONTINUOUS PRESSING NOISE AND JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT ISOLATED TICKS. THE BACKGROUND NOISE IS VERY LOW AND ONLY AUDIBLE IN LOWER PASSAGES OF MUSIC. AN OVERALL VG SIDE USING GOLDMINE GRADING GUIDELINES.
SIDE TWO: VERY LIGHT, ISOLATED, NOT CONTINUOUS, PRESSING NOISE AND AN ISOLATED TICK HERE AND THERE. THIS LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE IS ONLY AUDIBLE IN THE LOWER PASSAGES OF MUSIC. IT IS LOW AND DOES NOT RISE ABOVE THE MUSIC. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT AUDIBLE POPS DURING THE FINAL FEW REVOLUTIONS OF PLAYBACK. A NICE STRONG VG SIDE USING GOLDMINE GRADING GUIDELINES.
VISUAL GRADE, DETERMINED BY USING GOLDMINE GRADING GUIDELINES.
IF I WERE VISUALLY GRADING THIS 45 IT WOULD FALL FIRMLY WITHIN THE GOLDMINE VG CATEGORY. LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND RUBS WITH A COUPLE OF SMALL ( 1/8" ) MARKS THAT CAN BE FELT. THE VINYL HAS RETAINED MOST OF IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS AND SHINE. LABELS HAVE NO WRITING OR STICKERS AND ARE CLEAN WITH LIGHT STACKING WEAR.
