Take Out Some Insurance/ You Know I Love You

This is a stock copy from the collection. Though it didn't chart, this single is one of Reed's more desirable owing to its having been covered by British bands in the 1960s... notably, by The Beatles in their early days with Tony Sheridan (it's on the B side of their rare Atco single "Sweet Georgia Brown"). Note: This 45 is among those in the Neal collection that she may have actually played, and which sadly spent some of their life outside a protective sleeve. In this case, the beautiful maroon labels are Near Mint, with just a touch of ringwear (see scan). The vinyl looks a weak EX, reflecting some scuffing and light scratches. Unfortunately, the audio has enough surface noise to lower the audio grade to VG. The overall grade for the single (EX) is derived as a rough average of the three grades.
