Related searches
A pretty good selection of Aretha's earlier work for Columbia, and features some real gems that should have been bigger hits than they were! Titles include "Runnin Out Of Fools", "Take It Like You Give It", "Soulville", "Cry Like A Baby", and "Sweet Bitter Love". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(70s Harmony pressing. Shrinkwrap has a hole in front and small tears at the bottom corners. Cover has some wear where exposed.)
Sealed
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
