Ultra Rare Promo Copy: Willie Hutch 7 The Duck/Love Runs Out on Dunhill
Presenting an incredibly rare promo copy of Willie Hutch s sought-after 7 single The Duck/Love Runs Out released on Dunhill.
Condition:
While conservatively graded as VG , this record is from 1965 and looks like it came out of the packaging except for a couple minor things. Oh. Where did it go? Some nice person said they could not see the grooves and I looked and I could not see into them either thus, I took it down because I thought maybe I would want to change the grade knowing how you guys like stuff pack fresh and all. I loathe that I have spent 3 days after taking it down to stare at it to 1 take it down and 2 look at it and have no other opinion than my initial opinion. But, due diligence was due. I certainly never want to sell y all something expensive that s graded by an idiot full of sound and fury.
Back to where I left off It features only a couple of faint hairline paper scuffs and minimal wear on the label. The vinyl plays smoothly from start to finish with no skips or unwanted noise. I am not a professional grader so please ask for more pics. I have tried to provide more than I normally do for this item. I have updated it with the best resolution I have access to so we can all peer into the grooves. Actually, I m gonna take a break because I have been for 3 days, and I think Willie may be talking to me.

Update: I will put a short video online of me throwing the record like an Olympic discus thrower so you all can see more than just hear I think that will help. If it s not up when you see this , it s really late and I don t throw discs until 7 am.
