Ghet-To Funk DURALCHA Bonus: Parliament & Wayne Handy

$

173

I am pleased to offer this classic 45.

Artist: Duralcha

Songs: Ghet-To Funk / Jody Is Gone

Label: Micro Tronics Sound

Record#: 1001

Note: None

Grade: VG+ (It's probably M- but I don't want to play it to find out. I'll let you 'inaugurate' it.) Here's why:

I have owned this record since May 30, 1975, the date stamped on the label. "Ghet-To Funk" has never been played because side A is "Jody Is Gone" and that's the only side I ever played.

This 45 is one of thousands from my personal collection that I am selling. I was a member of the long-gone NADDJ [National Association of Discotheque Disc Jockeys] and I have R & B, Disco, Beach, Northern Soul, Rock, Country, Gospel, etc. I am selling everything from Enrico Caruso to the Fatback Band, Led Zeppelin to Frank Sinatra, Gloria Gaynor to Dottie West.

Be sure to add me to your favorites list!

Record Grading System:

• M-  Near perfect.
• VG+   Has superficial signs of use that don't affect play.

• VG  Nice, used vinyl with some signs of wear and perhaps light surface noise between tracks or during quiet sessions.
• VG-  Significant wear and marks; usually some noticeable surface noise.
• G+  Fair with obvious scratches.

Notes:

cc = cut corner/saw mark on cover

dh = drill hole in label or jacket

dj = not-for-sale, DJ, radio station copy

pr = white label promo

ps = picture sleeve

re = reissue

tl = tape on label

wl = writing on label
