People Get Ready/ I've Been Trying

Here's a beautiful copy of what may be Curtis Mayfield's greatest Impressions song. Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC-Paramount Records factory sleeve. The beautiful labels would grade Mint but for a few light "fracture" lines on the A side (the B side does not have them) (see scan). The vinyl (styrene) is a strong Near Mint. The A side audio grades very close to Near Mint, with beautiful, undistorted sound but very light surface noise that's audible in the soft passages; the B side audio has more noticeable surface noise, but again, no distortion.
