Ain't Got No Home/ Troubles, Troubles

This is a stock copy from the Louise Neal collection. This classic was Clarence "Frog Man" Henry's first and, some think, best single, which Dave Marsh includes at #665 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. This is, after all, the song that gives meaning to his nickname, as he demonstrates that he really "Can sing like a girl, and ... like a frog!" 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. The 45s in this category may have more noticeable storage wear (ringwear and scuffs/scratches), and the audio may not be pristine due to imperfect grooves. In this case, the A side label has an "X" inked on it (see scan), and both labels have very light storage wear; overall I'm grading the labels a strong EX. The vinyl has some light scuffing and also grades a strong EX. The audio is strong and clear with just a hint of surface noise, perfectly fine for broadcast or club play.
