Description
LITTLE SOUL – LONELY STRANGER/PROBLEMS. SOLID SOUND RECORDS – SS-0039. LATE 60’S? (THERE IS A 1967 DATE PRINTED ON THE LABEL UNDER SOLID SOUND) FOR MY FINAL LISTING FOR 2012 I OFFER UP A VERY RARE SOUL 45RPM FROM SAINT LOUIS. SIDE ONE IS “PROBLEMS” AND I RATE THIS SIDE AS VG+(+). I PLAYED THIS SIDE AND DID NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS AND POPS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT KEEP IT IN A PAPER SLEEVE, BUT THANK GOODNESS I DON’T THINK IT WAS SHUFFLED BETWEEN OTHER RECORDS TOO OFTEN. THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT WEAR MARKS OR THOSE KIND OF MARKS THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE IF IT WAS STORED BETWEEN OTHER RECORDS WITHOUT A PAPER SLEEVE. MORE VISIBLE WITH A 100 WATT BULB, BUT AS I MENTIONED, I PLAY GRADED IT, AND IT PLAYED JUST FINE!! THE LABEL LOOKS FINE AND THE COLORS ARE VIVID AND STRONG. THIS SONG HAS A GREAT ORGAN AND HORNS. SIDE TWO IS “LONELY STRANGER” AND I RATE THIS SIDE AS VG (ALMOST WITH A PLUS!) THERE A TWO VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES (I HATE THAT WORD) AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE SONG, THE END HAVING THE LONGER MARK. AGAIN WITH PLAY TESTING, THE SONG PLAYED THROUGH GREAT, AND CLICK AND POP FREE AND VERY LITTLE NOISE DETECTED. THE REST OF THE VINYL GRADING, LIKE SIDE 1 THERE ARE “VERY” LIGHT WEAR MARKS ON THE VINYL FROM STORAGE WITHOUT A SLEEVE. I REALLY THINK WAS A RADIO STATION COPY BECAUSE OF THE MARKINGS ON THE LABEL, ON THE LABEL, COLORS ARE VIVID THE LABEL IS STILL NICE AND CLEAN WITH VERY LITTLE WEAR. THERE IS WRITING ON THIS LABEL WITH A BALLPOINT PEN HOWEVER. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IT READS “SIDE” (UNDERLINED) WITH THE INITIALS “E.W.” IN THE MIDDLE AND “OK” WRITTEN ON THE RIGHT. SOMETHING A D,J, PROBABLY PUT ON THAT SIDE TO PLAY ON THE RADIO. THIS SONG REALLY HAS SOME KILLER GUITAR THROUGHOUT WITH SOME GREAT HORNS TOO. I TRIED TO LINK THESE SONGS IN MY DESCRIPTION HERE FOR YOU TO LISTEN ON YOUTUBE BUT WAS REJECTED. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS 45 BEFORE PLEASE GO TO THE YOUTUBE WEBSITE AND SEARCH FOR "LITTLE SOUL PROBLEMS."
