Sam Ward - Sister Lee / Stone Broke   (Groove City )
I listed this a few weeks ago but the buyer could not complete the transaction.  Here is another chance to own this SIGNED original copy of one of the all-time Northern Soul classics.
I found this in the Detroit area in the mid-1990s at a thrift store.  It appears to be signed "To a very good friend of mine, Thanks, Singin' Sammy Ward".  I obviously cannot verify it with complete certainty, but it appears genuine.
Condition:  Weak VG+ (Vinyl still has good shine overall, with a moderate amount of scuffing and some light scratches. Labels have some light stains on "Sister Lee" side and a couple other light marks.  Disc plays very well - Please hear full, high-quality clips)

Listen to Stone Broke:

Welcome to the 45 Vault!  I am a longtime Detroit-area record collector and radio DJ, and will be offering prime items from my personal collection each week, mainly in the Soul and Funk categories, so please add me to your favorite seller list; the best is yet to come!  I never sell reissues or bootlegs, and all discs are 100% guaranteed to be original pressings. 
Please read my feedback from soul lovers around the world - I grade accurately, ship securely, and strive to give you the best service possible.

GRADING:

I grade each disc visually as well as audibly, and provide unaltered audio clips for your convenience. 
I use the Goldmine grading system: 
M (flawless, like new - very few discs merit this high grade) M- (close to perfect, with only the most insignificant visible flaws and no audible degradation) VG+ (a well cared-for disc that shows very minor wear and tear, a 'keeper' copy for most collectors) VG (an average 'as-found' copy; some background noise that does not overwhelm the music) VG- (a sizable amount of scuffs and scratches, noise level higher but music still dominates) G+ (disc is very worn but plays without skips; a low-end filler copy G (very poor shape - G records will never be offered)
Clips from the actual disc on offer are recorded on a Technics direct-drive turntable with a Shure M-95ED cartridge, with no filtering or enhancement whatsoever, into a TEAC standalone CD burner.  The discs have been recorded in stereo, and will sound even better on a mono system.

PAYMENT:

I accept Paypal only, with payment due within seven days of the close of the auction. 

My goal is complete customer satisfaction, so please bid with confidence. If you have any questions, please contact me.  If you are not completely satisfied, I offer a full refund for discs returned within seven days of receipt.

SHIPPING:

I ship in new, commercial grade, 200 pound edge-crush-test cardboard 45 rpm shipping boxes, with cardboard spacers on each side of the disc for additional protection.  All records have been carefully cleaned by hand, and are enclosed in a new poly sleeve.
