After some internet research I found this information;

THE VALADIERS I Found A Girl (Unbelievably rare original 1963 UK Oriole American label 2-track 7" vinyl single, also including You'll Be Sorry Someday - quite simply the Holy Grail for UK Motown collectors!

This Detroit vocal quartet were one of the first white groups to record for Motown. Originally issued in the US on Gordy 7013 in January 1963, this is their sole UK release (issued two months later) - one of nineteen that Motown licensed to the Oriole label in an attempt to break into the UK market, and one that hardly ever appears for sale!
Lead singer Stuart Avig went on to record for Ed Wingate at Detroit's other legendary studio Golden World, finding favour on the UK Northern Soul scene with 'Angelina, Oh Angelina' (as Stewart Ames).

Vinyl Condition: After carefully looking and listening to this record I have graded it as " Excellent " condition.

The A-Side  Visually, it has some very minor, non sounding, surface marks that do not affect play whatsoever.

The B-Side Visually, it has some minor, non sounding, surface marks that do not affect play whatsoever.

In my opinion, this record plays beautifully with very minimal background noise and a great sound to it.

Labels: As you can see from the scans, both labels are clear and bright and are clear from any writing.  

Centre: The original four prong centre is solid and perfectly intact.

Sleeve Condition: Original Oriole sleeve in excellent condition.

I have tried to be as honest as I can with my listing and have included the standard record grading system used to grade second hand records. 

Please Note; if you are looking for a mint copy of this record, then this is not quite there however if you are happy with a lovely sounding / looking and very playable copy in " Excellent Condition " then this is definitely the one for you.  

Record Grading System:

Mint: The record itself in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

Excellent: The record shows very slight signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality and the cover and packaging have only minimum defects.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played a few times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. A slight amount of wear or tear on the cover or extra items is acceptable.

Good: The record still produces a reasonable sound but has obviously been played a lot. Although showing wear and tear, neither the record, cover or contents display any major defects.

Fair: It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated quite a bit. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.

Poor: The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise and other deterioration in sound quality.

Bad: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. The cover and contents will be torn, stained, defaced or even missing.
