Description
For your consideration is scarce soul 45, Showstopper/Don't Let the Door Hit Your Back, on the orange Hem label, (Hem 1000).
Vinyl rates in the VG to VG+ range on the 'Showstopper' side (using the Goldmine standard, I do not use EX as a grade). There is a little crackle at the beginning, and faint hiss here and there, but is otherwise solid (listen to clip below).
Side B, 'Don't Let the Door Hit Your Back', is a bit more problematic. It plays well on my older stereo, but on my new top-of-the-line system with an extremely sensitive needle and stylus, there are some moments of distracting crackling and a skip at the end of the song (It does not skip on my older unit. Showstopper plays well on both stereos). To be safe, I would grade it as Good to Fair only.
Both sides of the label have the previous owner's name written on them (see photos).
Please see my other auctions for some more rare soul up this week.
Shipping $3 in US, $23 worldwide (registered mail). I do combine shipping for multiple items.
