MOTOWN COLLECTORS - ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE ISSUES - ALWAYS HARD TO COME BY.
One of the rarest of the picture sleeve issues and seldom available, here's a very nice original USA first issue copy with the elusive picture sleeve of this great pairing from THE MIRACLES with "BROKEN HEARTED" and backed with "MIGHTY GOOD LOVING" on the US TAMLA imprint # T 54044.
Pricing has always been partly determined by the condition of the sleeve rather than the record itself and finding a copy with a decent matching picture sleeve has always been a challenge as many have become soiled and dog-eared over time with heavy creasing, rips, written annotations, price stickers, coffee staining as well as the inevitable deletion drill hole and ring wear. On a scale of 1 through 10 with "ten" being mint, I would rate this sleeve as a "6" with quite obvious ring wear on both sides but with good seams and one very small cellotape repair along the top opening edge and without written annotations.
The disc itself plays perfectly throughout with top audible quality and remains in a very strong excellent plus condition (plays as mint minus) with minimal crackle on the run-in and run-out groove and light surface sleeve rubs. The "two globe" first issue style labels are very clean on both sides and not spoiled by a deletion drill hole and with little in the way of ring wear making this a top copy of this rare combination for the DJ or collector (see picture scans). This variant books at £100 in a certain East midlands price guide in mint minus condition.
From my personal collection that I'm downsizing so why not check my other listings for more great sounds.
The record will be shipped in a stiffened card outer by Royal Mail Large Letter First Class “Signed For” service only in the UK at a cost of £2.99 or, overseas by "Signed For" service at the costs indicated. This provides protection for both parties in the unlikely event of loss.
Postage discounts available for multiple purchases with up to three 45's shipped at the single record rate. Please request total from seller and wait for invoice before making payment.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT FEEDBACK WILL ALWAYS BE LEFT BUT ONLY AFTER FIRST RECEIVING THE SAME.
