Description

Here it is! For some, The Holy Grail of funk/soul/r&b...


The "5" Royales

Goof Ball/Catch That Teardrop

ABC-Paramount


Super Rare 7" from 1962, this 45rpm doesnt come around often, especially in this condition.


The vinyl itself looks amazing! Under bright light, I do see some light hairlines, but a play test sounds excellent with some light background noise.


Vinyl VG+


The sleeve is a 60s era ABC-PARAMOUNT which is accurate for this pressing. It has sime creases and such, but still nice to have with this rarity.


Shipped in a plain white sleeves.


Shipping is FREE in the US.
