Medicine Man/ Tears Fall

This is an original stock copy from the Louise Neal 45 Collection. The A side is a terrific slice of "popcorn" Soul. Credited on this release to "Jeanette B. Washington". Note: This 45 has beautiful, Mint labels (see scan). Sadly, the audio doesn't do the labels justice, grading a weak EX to reflect notable surface noise, especially in the first half of the song. The underlying audio is gorgeous, but the surface noise is moderately distracting. The vinyl looks Near Mint at first glance, but on closer inspection it has a number of tiny scratches and scuffs that lower the visual grade to a strong EX.
