The DOWN BEATS
Dawn 1031
"Why Do You Love Another"
/ "You're The One (The One For Me)"

Cleaning out the soul boxes - Offering the last 45 by a prolific Hartford, Connecticut based mixed group. Stone killer female torch soulful ballad, "Why Do You Love Another" sung by member Stella Lewis - she nails it!
Flipside is a latin flavored, funky uptempo soul sound, starts off midtempo to faster tempo, sung by member Al Harris - he reminds me of Eddie Kendricks on this track, with his high tenor vocal.
Released in mid 1971.

GRADING: I do not us the Ex grade. Your Ex is an equal to my VG+

Mint minus = highest grade, flawless disc or nearly perfect store stock unplayed
VG++ = shows a bit of imperfection on the playing surface, only seen under strong lighting. Labels are clean.
VG+ = begins to show evidence of surface imperfections, mostly hairline scuffs that do not affect play. Disc shows light playwear, still shiny, labels show a bit of wear.
VG = very clean disc, playwear can be seen, more hairlines and a few scratches which are not deep (surface only). Very light surface noise from repeated playwear
VG minus = what every other dealer grades as VG+. Well-worn 45, no gloss, numerous visual imperfections which may or may not sound upon playback. Surface noise is more readily heard - still, the 45 plays well enough to enjoy.
G = record is visually beat up, showing few to many deep scratches, has groove distortion / surface noise in some or most of the song but will play through.
