Record Condition: G- (READ THIS! - Record has a crack! The crack starts on the outer edge and goes about 2/3 of the way into the middle of the 45. The crack is audible in parts but can be maneuvered/manipulated to play somewhat evenly over the needle with minimal clicks and noise. I've played this out a few times at the Soul Rotisserie DJ night in New Orleans at Handsome Willy's every Tuesday evening, and also a few times on the radio at WWOZ, and it has actually sounded pretty good, considering it's condition. Despite the crack, the record plays G+ or weak VG- and we have listed it with no reserve, being sold AS IS. Please listen to sound clips before bidding!

Cover Condition: generic 45 sleeve

Label: Bonatemp 401

Notes: 1st copy of this 45 that we have ever seen. This is Willie Tee's rarest 45, and one of the rarest New Orleans soul 45's. Only a few of these have popped up in recent years, so despite the defect, this is still a very desireable record and still in somewhat playable condition. Winning bidder you will be sure to be one of the few people with a copy of this gem! FREE SHIPPING!

RECORD GRADING:

All records are cleaned and then conservatively graded under a bright light bulb. This grading scale is fairly self explanatory. If you have a question about condition, please simply email us!

NM (Near Mint): A flawless copy. Looks great and is most likely unplayed. Like new. We almost never grade a record "Near Mint". If we do, you know you are getting an excellent copy!!

VG++: Record may have a few light paper sleeve marks or scuffs that should not affect play. Visually will have some light marks but will play close to NM with minimal noise. Record has probably been played a few times. A very nice copy.

VG+: Record will show more noticeable marks and paper scuffs than VG++ and may have some light surface noise in parts due to time and wear. Still a nice copy and has been well taken care of.

VG: Record will have some noticeable surface noise in parts and more discernible light scuffs and/or scratches. Record may have an occasional light pop or click here and there, but still plays well with no skipping. A solid copy that plays with some surface noise. We are conservative with our VG grade.

VG-: Vinyl will have more considerable surface noise and clearly show more numerous paper scuffs, scratches, marks, and wear on both sides of the record. Some scratches you may be able to feel with a fingernail. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently, but record will still play ok with no skipping.

G: Our lowest grade record. Vinyl will display heavy wear and play with very apparent and considerable surface noise. Scratchy filler copy.
