Nice dancer, never had this before

JOYCE DAVIS – HELLO HEARTACHES, GOODBYE LOVE – OKEH VG+ 30

Label is scruffy, vinyl has marks but again plays great, if you don’t know it, it sounds like a Major Lance record sung by a lady! Great stuff. Books at 75.

LUTHER INGRAM – EXUS TREK / IF IT’S ALL THE SAME TO YOU BABE – HIB VG+ 185 SOLD

This is the extremely rare light green press which books at £500 (uk) in the latest manship price guide. It's pressed on vinyl, not styrene so there's no hiss for a start. As you can see by the photos,

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110486067852&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

it has some water damage on the label. The white mark on the vocal side is some sticker residue which will come off.

Condition wise, this is one of those 'miracle' records which appears to have lived it's life without a sleeve, is well marked, but plays beautifully.

Visually it's glossy but has many marks and it's visual grade is vg. But play it and you are in for a surprise, both sides play "ex", in fact the sound quality on exus trek is better than any of the bootlegs, mint or not.
