Description

Please make sure you're happy with the shipping costs before bidding. Due to past claims for non delivery, I will now only ship by secure "Tracked" service in line with eBay recommended policy with tracking number provided for peace of mind. Please be mindful of this when leaving feedback. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MAILING TAKES PLACE TWICE A WEEK ON TUESDAY & FRIDAY ONLY. TO MAKE THE CUT, ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MIDDAY LATEST ON EITHER DAY.

Here's a very nice original USA styrene issue copy of this classic Chicago pairing from MAJOR LANCE with "TOO HOT TO HOLD" on the USA OKEH imprint # 4-7226 and backed with "DARK AND LONELY". It has the factory stamped matrix number within the dead wax. Although this copy has the smaller 45 RPM annotation, it is believed to be a first issue as the larger 45 RPM text has yet to be confirmed as actually existing on this release.

This copy plays perfectly throughout with great audible quality and remains in excellent plus condition (playing as mint minus) with minimal crackle on the run-in and run-out groove and with very light surface sleeve rubs not affecting play. The labels are clean on both sides with just the odd minor blemish and not spoiled by a deletion drill hole and with very light ring wear. Paired with an original company paper sleeve making this a top copy for the DJ or collector (see picture scans). 

The record has been play graded and is from my personal collection that I'm downsizing so why not check out my other listings for more great sounds. Postage discounts available for multiple purchases with up to three 45's shipped at the single record rate. In this case, please save to basket and request total from seller and wait for invoice before making payment.

The record will be shipped in a stiffened card outer by Royal Mail Large Letter "Tracked 48" service only at a cost of £3.50 in the UK which provides protection for both parties in the unlikely event of loss. Due to the ever increasing cost of international mail, overseas shipments can only be purchased via the eBay "Global Shipping Program".

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FEEDBACK WILL ALWAYS BE LEFT BUT ONLY AFTER FIRST RECEIVING THE SAME.
