Up The Down Stairs/ Faith Will Bring It Home

This rare recording, the first of two chart singles in the Black/RnB U.S. market, has a really different feel — it's dance music with a funky friend. But the single's value comes mainly from Northern Soul passion for its B side, "Faith Will Bring It Home." Note: This copy comes in a vintage ABC Records factory sleeve. If you're here for the B side, you're in luck: It has a very nearly Mint label, pristine-looking vinyl (styrene) and pristine Mint audio. However, A side fans will be disappointed because its label has been stamped "Thanks Larry Hardrove", and its wax has two tiny scratches that cause a light "pop" in the audio, lowering the audio grade for this side to EX. The EX+ audio grade is an average of the two sides.
