This appears to be a rare piece of soul music history. This is a 7-inch 45 rpm acetate single featuring nice pieces of organ-based funk.
This is an acetate, and it has the titles Hot Ice and Mud Cat on it. The name Al Smith is written by hand on the labels, and it may be Al Smith, the organist from Chicago, with a pretty tight band.
According to the labels, these were pressed for Hall Recording in Chicago
Sample audio clips straight from the record are available below.
Condition - This has wear including mostly light marks. Both sides grade at about VG+ by sight. Listening grade is similar.
Sound clips of both sides are included below to give an idea of the music and the sound quality. This clips came directly off the record and they have not been enhanced or corrected in any way.
Please check my other auctions as there other soul R&B acetates.
Regarding shipping - I use new high quality materials and pack carefully. When possible, I can combine shipping.
Regarding grading - I try to grade by Goldmine standards. I do not use the grade "Mint" on unsealed, opened records. The highest grade I give to unsealed records is "Near Mint." Grading here is strictly by sight.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and please check out my other audiophile grade LP auctions!
