Donald Ray & Solid Sound   I THINK ABOUT LOVE / BIG TOWN USA  Bee & Tee 68005 blue issue label.  An impossibly rare northern soul gem from out of Raleigh North Carolina. This one is about as close to MINT as there is. It's never been played except by me. Full and perfect lustre to the vinyl, with no scuffs of any kind. It's still in the original off white sleeve it was issued in. Labels are M-, and while I almost never use this grade, this disc looks Mint. Guaranteed Original issue. THIS NEVER SURFACES, so make sure you bid to win.  I THINK ABOUT LOVE is without a doubt a floor filler, and a key addition  to any serious collection. With perfectly styled falsettas in the chorus, and tight Carolina styled soul, this is one fantastic soul rarity! The flip side, BIG TOWN USA is an amazing driving powerhouse of obscure soul. This one plays perfectly. It's only been played once. By me.    I'll say this again.... I've never had this record before. It's rare!  And this is the ultimate copy. Bid early and bid seriously.  Don't miss out!     ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((*))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))   Every record I list today will be sold without reserve. Even if that means it brings the minimum bid. I believe in playing fair.  Some are quite rare. (I'll be listing some of the better titles last)  In all fairness to bidders, I will not end an auction early if bids have been placed, no matter what the offer is. Conditions will vary, but keep in mind none of these are common titles. I do try to grade as accurately as possible. Your satisfaction is important to me. When one scan is shown, in most cases I will be showing you the LESSER graded side. The other side should be equal or BETTER condition! Every record is being visually graded, and then PLAY graded as I list it.  I will combine winnings to save you on shipping (I only charge actual costs). So if you only want to bid the minimum, you just might get some of these!  Records will be shipped in sturdy cardboard mailers with an additional cardboard insert for protection. Please make payment within one week, unless other arrangements are made.  I will work with anyone. I'm a collector too. PLEASE, ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECORD BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS!!!   I will be glad to play any record over the phone if necessary.  My number is (804) 536-3853.   -----------------POSTAGE RATES ------------- I've tried to streamline the new postal rates to offer the best two options in the simplest form.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POSTAGE COST IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.  I can't negotiate with the Post Office.  I still recommend PRIORITY, but the new FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL appears to be a safe alternative.
