Why Must We Part/ I Will Always Love You

This is a new, unplayed promo copy from the Louise Neal 45 Collection, in its original Chess/Checker/Cadet factory sleeve. Both of these uptempo tracks are clear attempts to mine the Motown sound, and the B side works wonderfully and is highly sought-after today. The A side could have been a great track, too, but the arrangement isn't well thought out, IMHO, and the mastering isn't as, well, masterful. :-) Note: This beautiful promo 45 has very nearly Mint labels, with just a touch of storage wear on the B side (see scan). The vinyl looks untouched, with a Mint grade. The audio is very close to Mint, but I did hear a touch of surface noise early on, with Mint sound thereafter.
