Willie And The Hand Jive/ Ring-A-Ling

This is the classic original version of the song Eric Clapton recorded in the mid-1970s. The flip ups the tempo a bit and continues firing great Rockin' RnB. (Very briefly, I define "Rockin' RnB" as the style of music -- generally, uptempo -- whose popularity in the Black market and subsequent crossover to young white teenagers with access to "black" music, directly led to what became known as "Rock'n'Roll" as popularized by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Ricky Nelson and too many others to mention.) Note: This copy has beautiful, nearly Mint labels and comes in a vintage Capitol Records factory sleeve. The vinyl shows evidence of prior jukebox play, but the scuffing is quite light and only affects the A side. The B side audio is a strong Near Mint, but I have to grade the A side a strong EX, just below Near Mint, reflecting a bit of light surface noise near the beginning; as the track progresses, noise disappears, and the audio is at least Near Mint.
