Description

STORM – CAN’T NOBODY LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO / HUNG UP ON EACH OTHER. ROSETTE RECORDS – ROS – 1001. LATE 70'S. HERE’S ONE OF THE FIRST, IF NOT THE FIRST, 45 RPM RECORDS THAT STARTED THE “MODERN SOUL” COLLECTING MOVEMENT IN THE 1980’S IN THE UK AND THAT MAKES THIS IS A RARE HISTORICAL RECORD FOR COLLECTORS!! PRODUCED BY JAMES GRIFFIN, THIS 45 WAS RECORDED AND MIXED AT MALACO SOUND STUDIOS, IN JACKSON MISSISSIPPI. SIDE A, “CAN’T NOBODY LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO” HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A “UPBEAT DANCER” WHILE SIDE B, “HUNG UP ON EACH OTHER” IS A “SWEET SOUL” SONG. YOU CAN FOLLOW UP AND HEAR BOTH SONGS FROM THIS 45RPM ON YOU TUBE!!

AFTER LOOKING AT THIS RECORD UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, AND PLAY TESTING THE CONDITION IS AS FOLLOWS– SIDE A: LABEL IS A VERY LIGHT BABY-BLUE AND SHOWS “VERY-VERY” SLIGHT WEAR, TWO VERY SMALL BUBBLES AND A COUPLE OF SPOTS DUE TO STORAGE OR PRESSING FLAWS. THE VINYL ON SIDE A LOOKS REALLY NICE BUT HAS A COUPLE OF “VERY-VERY LIGHT” WHISPY SLEEVE MARKS (ONE LONGER) CAUSED BY STORAGE ISSUES. AFTER PLAY TESTING I HEARD THE TYPICAL VINYL “OCCASIONAL NOISE” BUT NOT CAUSED BY THE MENTIONED “WHISPY MARKS.” SIDE B – SAME IS A FOR THE LABEL, BUT HAS EVEN LESS WEAR AND SPOTS. VINLY CONDITION IS VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME AS “A”. A “VERY-VERY LIGHT” LONGER WHISPY LINE AND A COUPLE OF STRAIGHT WHISPY LINES. TRUTHFULLY, OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF MY PLAY TESTS, I DON’T THINK THIS RECORD HAS SEEN ANY OTHER PLAYING AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. I BELIEVE THE FLAWS OF THIS RECORD MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTIONS ABOVE WERE CAUSED BY THE RECORD IN “TIGHT” STORAGE CONDITIONS WITH OTHER RECORDS. THE 45RPM IS IN REALLY NICE SHAPE - NOT MINT BY ANY MEANS, BUT IT'S STILL IN VERY-VERY COLLECTABLE CONDITION!!!

THIS RECORD HAS ALSO BEEN CALLED SOUTHERN SOUL (BECAUSE OF IT’S ORGIN) AND A FEW SELLERS REFERRED TO IT AS NORTHERN SOUL. REGARDLESS, IT IS SUPER RARE RECORD AND IS A HARD TO FIND RECORD ANYWHERE, AND IN THIS GREAT CONDITION TO BOOT. THESE COPIES ONLY COME UP FOR SALE OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE ONCE COLLECTORS FIND A COPY, THEY WON'T LET IT GO . I KNOW WHOEVER BUYS THIS RECORD WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF MODERN SOUL RECORDS!!

BETTER SCOOP THIS MODERN SOUL 45RPM UP...NOT TO MANY WILL COME UP FOR SALE IN FUTURE FROM FUTURE COLLECTIONS!

SINCE THIS RECORD IS VERY VALUABLE PLEASE BE PREPARED TO PAY HIGHER END SHIPPING COSTS, REGISTERED MAIL, AND INSURANCE. I PLAN TO PACK THE RECORD IN AN LP BOX RATHER THAN A 45 BOX. FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS, THE SAME WILL BE TRUE. IF YOUR COUNTRY WILL NOT ALLOW HIGHER INSURANCE COSTS I’M SORRY, PLEASE DON’T BID. I WANT TO COVER MYSELF AS WELL IS YOU, AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SOME COUNTIES THAT DO NOT HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION BECAUSE OF THIER POSTAL SYSTEM AND THINGS GET TERRIBLY DAMAGED AND/OR LOST. I AM LISTING THIS RECORD FOR 10 DAYS, BUT I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN PART OF THAT TIME ATTENDING MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING BUT WILL CHECK MY EMAILS WHEN I CAN AND TO TRY AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE IF YOU WIN, DO NOT PAY ME UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME ABOUT SHIPPING TOTALS. GOOD LUCK!!
