Item Description
HELENE SMITH: DEEP CITY Records LP-1001 MONO Mfd in Miami in 1967 HELENE SMITH SINGS SWEET SOUL - MONO - Original Vinyl Album - I found this in a Thrift Store in Miami almost 20 years ago.
It s the first and only copy that I ve ever seen, in ANY condition.
The Front Cover is in Very Good condition, made with good quality paper.
The Back Cover didn t hold up as well.
It has stains, tears, and a couple of small pen marks near 2 Song Titles.
It s still intact, but there is a lot of edge wear along the edges.
The Top has paper scraped off of more than half, and is split in that area.
It s the same with the Bottom it has more scraped off than the Top.
The Spine is better, but it still has more than half of the paper scraped off.
I wish it was better, but it s all I ve got.
I ve tried to get Pictures that show most of the Cover.
eBay only allows 12 Pictures I could have used some more.
The Labels are clean and like new on both Sides.
The Vinyl Record has its original gloss and shows little use.
It looks overall a solid VG and Better.
But if you look closely at the first Track on Side 1, A WOMAN WILL DO WRONG, you can see a light scratch it s fairly straight and covers at least 60 of the Track you can feel it, and it causes clicks in the background of the Song.
It also lies in the middle of the Track.
It s the first song in the Audio Clips and I made it longer so you can hear the Intro long into the Clicks.
A WOMAN WILL DO WRONG plays VG/VG with the light clicks.
The next song, THRILLS AND CHILLS plays a Strong VG and Better.
The Third Song, WRONG OR RIGHT HE S MY BABY plays better at VG /Almost New.
YOU GOT TO BE A MAN plays a Strong VG and Better.
The other Songs all play nicely at VG and Better.
Side 2 Track 4 TRUE LOVE DON T GROW ON TREES has the over modulation distortion that s found on every copy in the world.
I ve posted 4 minutes of clips from every Track on this LP, starting with SIDE A, Track 1 at: www.gate.net/ rhanes/helenesmithlp.wma - If you click onto this hyperlink, you can download them as WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO FILES and listen for yourself.

If it sells for over 500, it will have to ship EXPRESS MAIL, which will cost around 90.00.
Since I will have to insure it, I will have to declare full sales value if paying with some way other than Paypal, I can ship it any way you want.
