This is an original stock copy from the
Louise Neal 45 Collection. The A side of this rare single is a monster "Popcorn"-style Soul number... highly sought-after for good reason! Note: This 45 is among those in the Neal collection that she may have actually played, and which apparently spent some of their life outside a protective sleeve. In this case, the labels have a light stain from storage (see scan), grading a strong EX. The vinyl has a few light scuffs but is very close to Near Mint in appearance. Aside from a single "pop" I heard, the A side audio is Near Mint, and that's the grade I'm using for the overall audio grade. However, note that the B side audio ("Clown Suit") has audible surface noise that lowers its grade to a weak EX.
