• RARE NEAR MINT MINUS MONO 1963 US ORIGINAL PRESSING on the red & purple mono ATLANTIC label (see photo). This is Doris's DEBUT lp and not one that comes up often in this condition. It has a great track line up. Her voice never sounded better than this.
• The beautiful LP is pressed on SUPER THICK non flexible ATLANTIC vinyl (see photos). It comes protected in the original custom ATLANTIC paper inner sleeve (see photo).
• The MONO ORIGINAL deep groove ANALOG mixes are full bodied with incredible fidelity and are much more desirable than any later pressings.
• This BEAUTIFUL black US ORIGINAL early ATLANTIC cover is still protected by the original SHRINK-WRAP and is pressed on SUPER THICK cardboard stock with a pasted on back paper slick (See Photo). Good lukc finding another like this copy.
• Do not be fooled by inferior digital re-mastering, re-mixes or compilation CD's. This is an original mono ANALOG recording; the real thing.

Surely one of the most talented one-hit wonders of the rock era, Doris Troy hit the Top Ten with "Just One Look" in 1963, but also recorded many other fine pop-soul sides for Atlantic between 1963 and 1965. Unlike many soul performers of the time, Troy wrote most of her own material (under the pseudonym Payne), and had already written for other artists and sung backup with Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston on New York soul records before striking out on her own. More melodically ambitious and stylistically eclectic than many of her peers, her Atlantic sides blend elements of gospel, girl group, blues, and pop into a rich New York soul sound. Troy never reached the charts again after "Just One Look," but was more appreciated in England, where she toured occasionally and where the Hollies covered her "What'cha Gonna Do About It" on their first album. Moving to Britain, she recorded an album for Apple in 1970 with assistance from George Harrison and Billy Preston. In the early '70s, she sang backup vocals for British rock groups, most notably the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, in addition to recording a couple more albums. In the '80s she starred in Mama I Want to Sing, a musical based on her life story. The musical became a touring success, one which Troy remained involved with until 1998. She continued to perform in Las Vegas until her death from emphysema on February 17, 2004. (AMG)

This LP has an incredible track line up and does not come up often on the super thick non flexible MONO vinyl (see photo). This is the keeper copy both cover and vinyl. I doubt more than a few still exist in this condition (see photos). I'll let the market decide what this one is worth. Please bid accordingly. Please see the other RARE LP's I have up for Auction.

Record Condition: Side 1 & 2: Near Mint Minus ...the SUPER thick non flexible vinyl has full LIKE NEW gloss and is pristine. It looks like you bought it yesterday. The beautiful red & purple ATLANTIC labels are clean and without wear around the spindle holes (See photo). I doubt it has been played more than a few times. CD's and later vinyl pressings can't even come close to the incredible fidelity of this ORIGINAL ATLANTIC LP. This is the keeper copy you have been waiting for.

Cover/Jacket Condition: Near Mint-/Very Good++ ...the BEAUTIFUL black cover is protected by the shrink wrap and is without wear on the front slick other than at the bottom seam for a few inches in from the opening where the shrink falls short (See photos). The back cover is nice and white protected by the shrink with the only wear in the lower left corner where the shrink falls short (see photo). There is a very small pin hole in the lower right corner on the back cover (see photo). The seams are intact and sharp with light wear at the bottom opening corner (see photo). The spine is intact and lettering sharp protected by the shrink-wrap (see photo). No tears, cut corners, indents, writing, saw marks, razor marks, stickers, stamps, warping, bar codes, age spotting, age yellowing, moisture damage, or peel off marks. This is a beautiful cover to match the high grade vinyl.

Thanks for looking!!!

Vinyl Grading Policy:

• All records and jackets are visually graded unless noted otherwise. CAUTION: Please be aware that the play grade may differ from the visual grade. If you want me to play a particular song and give you an assessment of background noise, etc. Please email me. We all have records that look worn but play great and vice versa. It is not possible to play as well as visually grade each LP listed. I TRY TO GRADE CONSERVATIVELY under the guidelines on this page, which generally follow the GOLDMINE standards. Although I try to be conscientious as a grader, there is the possibility that something could slip by me. In the event an item is not as described, REST ASSURED I will always offer a money back guarantee for purchase price of the item if returned safe and secure and requested within a week of receipt.
• Mint = A mint item must be absolutely perfect. Certainly never been played if not still sealed. This would be an item where it was opened but not played maybe just to check the label variation.
• Near Mint = The record shows no obvious signs of wear. The vinyl should show no wear from playing only the slightest of paper scuffs are acceptable. The jacket should look as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink-wrap.
• Near Mint-/Very Good++ = The record or cover is clearly better than VG+ but not Near Mint. There should be some signs that the vinyl was played infrequently and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took excellent care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have light scuffs and or very minor light scratches that do not affect the listener experience at all. The label and spindle hole will be without flaws other than the lightest of spindle trails from being played only a few times if at all. The cover should be bright and sharp and will have only the very first evidence of discoloration or ring wear or creased corners. Although there may be some evidence of seam/spine wear, seam splits are not permitted for this grade. The jacket may be marked as a cut out by a drill hole, saw mark, cut corner or punch hole. I will try to list any cover flaws of significance.
• Very Good+ = This is equivalent of the VG+ grade in Goldmine. The record will show signs that the vinyl was played but taken care of. Record surfaces will show signs of wear including some light scratches/scuffs that do not significantly affect the listener experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. Spindle holes will have some wear but not be enlarged or damaged in any way. The cover will have general wear/ring wear but not to the extent that it materially impairs enjoyment of the picture cover. Slight seam splits are ok for this grade. Again I will try to list any cover flaws of significance.
• Very Good = Unless it is a rare collectible, I usually will not sell records where both the cover and vinyl are below a VG+ grade PERIOD. This grade is included since some times there may be either a cover or record that the flaws in VG+ grade above are more pronounced but the other part of the package is of a higher grade. If it is the vinyl I will play grade it to be sure that the listener can still enjoy the music.
