1961 Jimmy Ruffin Northern Soul 45 rpm Don’t Feel Sorry For Me Miracle Records
This is a hard to find 45 rpm record by Jimmy Ruffin featuring “Don’t Feel Sorry For Me” on one side and “Heart” on the other. The record was released in 1961 on the Miracle Records label, number MIR 1, produced by “Miss Ray”. Miracle was a subsidiary label of Motown. It was Ruffin’s first record release.

Jimmy Ruffin started recording for Motown in 1961, as a solo artist on Miracle, and on other recordings as a session singer. He was drafted for military service, but returned in 1964 and was invited to audition for The Temptations. His younger brother David Ruffin was chosen instead, so Jimmy Ruffin returned to a solo career. His biggest hit was “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”, still a personal favorite of mine.

The record has surface scratching and scuffing, but I’ve listened to it and the damage doesn’t sound on my audiophile B&O system. I would grade it VG+, as there are visible scratches that do not sound. The label on the A side was a bit of paper loss in one spot and some white marker on it that looks like the initials DR.

This 45 is rare - Jimmy Ruffin was a great artist...Please click on any photo in order to enlarge…… sold by auction method with a very low starting price and no reserve...... and please be sure to view my other auctions for more interesting vintage and antique items, all collected from a number of good quality local estates.....Canadian buyers, please note that although we offer shipping through Champlain, NY for our American customers, we are a registered business located in Canada and must therefore charge applicable GST/HST/PST to Canadian buyers - please read further to understand our shipping methodology and note all costs so that there is no misunderstanding when rating shipping costs post-sale..........

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ:

PLEASE NOTE: BUYER PAYS SHIPPING - PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I CONTACT YOU AFTER THE AUCTION to avoid error. The reason for this is that package sizes and weights are estimates only as we cannot fully package items before they are sold. Please e-mail us for a shipping quote or wait until after the auction for a precise shipping cost. Our auctions end on Sunday evening, so I will be in touch with the correct invoice on Sunday evening or by the latest Monday morning, after we have had the chance to carefully package your item.

I am now shipping to my US clients through USPS services. I am located in Canada but I now have a carrier service to bring my parcels directly across the border on Wednesdays to be shipped out of the USPS postal outlet in Champlain, N.Y. In addition to the actual shipping cost, I do charge a $3.00 handling fee to help offset the cost of this special US service and new packaging for this piece. Please note that even with the handling fee that it is less expensive and is a quicker service than using Canada Post.

Because eBay is now requiring TRS sellers to process within 24 hours, I would require your Paypal payment by Monday at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.

PLEASE NOTE: For items which sell over $200.00, I must ship to my U.S. clients using Canada Post, this is due to customs regulations.

To my Canadian clients, I use Canada Post for shipping, as I am based in Canada - legally, I am not permitted to ship to you through the US, so do not rely on the US shipping calculator for costs.

To my International clients I can ship by either Canada Post or by USPS (in order to use USPS for intl. clients - the items must sell for under $200.00).

Please feel free to write with any inquiries in regards to cost of shipping to you.

I would request any client to get in touch with me upon winning an item, who is NOT able to pay by Monday at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, so I can get an idea of when to expect your payment.



PLEASE TAKE NOTE: CANADIAN RESIDENTS PAY GST/HST and QUEBEC RESIDENTS PAY BOTH THE GST AND PST TAX.

Please do not ask us to falsify customs documentation.

"Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior."


Payment

My regular shipping day is Wednesday. IMPORTANT: All my Canadian buyers must pay the GST or HST tax in applicable provinces and Quebec buyers must pay both the GST and the QST taxes.

     
I accept the following forms of payment:
  • PayPal
