EDDIE HOLMAN - I SURRENDER - ABC DEMO

THE AD LIBS - NEW YORK IN THE DARK - AGP RESERVED
I'd grade this visually as Good but play wise it starts off Good moving up to VG++..I've heard a lot worse. In fact it plays great - I'll add a sound file to Soul Source.
Oh it has an invisible crack in the run in which doesn't sound.
It's a rare original and you can dj with this, no problem
