$

Hello! You are looking at a *RARE* Original Press promo vinyl copy of the JOHNNY ROBINSON single "Gone But Not Forgotten / I Need Your Love So Bad".

** relisted due to non-payment **

OKeh Records, # 4-7307, 1968.

This is a very rare Northern Soul single with a fine soul ballad and funky soul burner! This is an Original Press promo, not a reissue or reproduction. Very few copies have *ever* surfaced for sale! Overall, the record is graded as G+. Surface marks and swirls are prevelant and this copy has a tight 3/4" crack that starts on the outside edge before stopping about halfway thru the wax. Note: this crack does NOT sound out with any loud pops or ticks! It plays thru remarkably well on each side. There is background noise and crackle due to the surface marks, but this does not overpower the music. The labels have some wear and staining, but are completely legible, with a college radio station stamp on each side.

I've recorded the first 30 seconds of each side so you can review the sound. These recordings play thru the crack on each side, and the sound is clear and dynamic considering the condition, making this a solid player copy for much less than a near mint copy would cost! Please review the audio samples and photos, and feel free to ask any questions.

I use the Goldmine Grading Guide, not a made-up system where the grades are actually lower than the standard. I grade conservatively and have created more detailed explanations for enthusiasts in addition to the standard as mentioned below:

M / only sealed items will have this grading.

NM / an immaculate copy that has a known provenance or is an unplayed, opened copy.

EX / no easily identifiable marks on vinyl. High luster. A "top copy".

VG+ / very minor marks, absolutely no feelers. Well taken care of. A "keeper copy".

VG / visible wear or marks that may be audible. A feeler or two, tops. May have tics, but no pops. A "player copy".

VG- / has wear and multiple marks, including feelers. May have a few pops and some background noise, but no skips. A listing at this grade must be a scarce pressing.

G+ / must play through with no skip feelers or warps, or locked grooves. Will have pops and more prevalent background noise. A listing at this grade must be a rare pressing
