Reach Out I'll Be There/ Until You Love Someone

Here's a very nice copy of the Number 4 single on Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest 45s ever made... including its gorgeous picture sleeve. (Rolling Stone magazine ranks the tune at #209 out of 500.) Note: The sleeve is bright and shiny with virtually no ringwear; its only notable flaw is a small "981-M" inked in the upper right-hand corner (see scan). The 45 itself grades a strong EX across the board. Its labels are very close to Near Mint, but I noticed a tiny "981" inked against the dark blue background (hard to see). The vinyl has very light scuffing, and the audio, while strong and undistorted, has a wee bit of audible surface noise.
