Otis Clay - The Only Way Is Up / Special Kind Of Love ECHO VG+ £275
Great double header. A side has a two second noise right at the start of the track - just the first couple of twangs of the guitar. Clears to M- long before vocal starts. B side is great too - has a few light marks - looks and plays
