BOBBY PATTERSON / IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME / RARE SOUL LP ON PAULA RECORDS LPS-2215
Record Grading:?
Side 1: M/SS Still Sealed. Shrink-wrap is fully intact (see pics). Never played. Never removed from inner sleeve. Never opened.     Side 2: M/SS Still Sealed. Shrink-wrap is fully intact. Never played. Never removed from inner sleeve. Never opened.  

Jacket Grading:
NM Still sealed. All seams are intact. Colors are rich with no fading. No writing. No evidence or ring-wear. I am a strict grader, especially with outer jackets, and have marked this down from M/SS as there is a very small crease in the top left edge of the outer jacket, about 1.5 inches from the corner. This is cosmetic only, but still worth calling out. There is also a small semi-circle section near the bottom right corner where the shrink has been torn. It's about 1 inch high, running from the edge to the bottom of Bobby's thumb in the cover art. I have captured a close-up view of these two minor blemish in the photos that I have attached. 

Overall:
This is an incredible album from overlooked Texas soul-man Bobby Patterson. If you're familiar with the record, you already know that it is very rare. Even more unusual is to find a copy that has never been played. This is the only sealed one I've ever come across. I have a much more "well loved" copy of my own, but will still be sad to see this one go, as it's been one of the crown jewels in my collection.
