Hi All For this week we have another 45 on the incredible Faces label from Shriveport, La. This tiny label never put a foot wrong across all it releases, yet is still is relatively unknown. This particular released is never seen, a funky little early 70's dancer that drives along. Has sold for over £75, but today it's yours for £30 plus shipping, all copies are stone mint. I have 10 of these to go, then their gone. Al Hill - Big Marie - Faces X-252
