Djr

the blue Motown sleeve looks great. 

Living outside Philadelphia, I. am a fan of the various Jamie 45 sleeves, like this distro sleeve

I generally like them colorful, especially when really crisp. this one is neither but still great

I have the following 45 for sale:

The Broadways “Sweet And Heavenly Melody” / “You Just Don’t Know”     MGM K13592 45

Visually, 45 is Strong VG+.

45 has slight edge warp that does not effect play, and is more noticeable from “Sweet and Heavenly Melody” side.

Record plays VG++, really great.

Included is the original company sleeve.

$200.00 USD including postage.

I have been selling on eBay for a number of years under the name fonkysoul and have 100% positive feedback.

Please send me a message to reserve, confirm PayPal ID.
