PASSIONS - Hello College Boy / You Better Make A Move - Elvitrue (Vg) £100

… [superb and very rare, even rarer on this orange label; stunningly good (chill-out) ballad flip; this does have some clicks and pops, mostly light, but on this record it kind of ‘goes with it’; would be £250 if M-, and is bound to go bigger]
