Description: For sale is a 45 RPM vinyl single by Blood, Sweat & Tears titled "And When I Die b/w Lucretia Mac Evil", originally released in 1970 by Columbia Records, then reissued in 1973-1974 as part of Columbia Records' "Hall Of Fame" series of reissues. I bought this used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve, then into a storage box for 45 RPM singles, that was kept under optimum conditions for both temperature and humidity until today. On the label is a sticker that says "For Demonstration Use Only Not For Sale". The original inner sleeve is graded as Very Good Plus because of very small wrinkles at the top opening along with a small tear along the bottom seam. In the dead wax, between the labels and end of the tracks, is etched the matrix numbers 1-B/1-C, indicating that early stampers were used to make this record at Columbia Records' pressing plant. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint Minus because of a smal superficial smudge on Side One, with still with surfaces that are shiny and bright, in a like-new condition, without any surface scratches or scuffs. I'm play grading this record as Excellent because of occasional low level surface noise, but never over-powering the vocals or music. It plays all the way through without any skips or lock-ups from start to finnish. You would be hard pressed to find a copy of this record in this condition, especially a Promotional pressing. This would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection. Please read all descriptions and look at all pictures, as this is a final sale and I do not accept returns. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for more that 50 years and always clean them before and after playback to keep them in a pristine condition. I try to describe them to the best of my ability and use record grading guidelines like the Goldmine rating system as reference. Since retiring, I've begun to sell my very esoteric collection via my Ebay store (bobsanalogemporium) and will offer discounts for multiple sales. I always pack the items for sale in an archival inner sleeve, then put them in either a Kraft paper bubble mailer with sturdy cardboards or cardboard record mailers, always with the records separate from the jackets or its original picture sleeve, then sandwiched between sturdy cardboards before shipping. Please read all descriptions carefully and note all pictures before-hand, as I do not accept returns. Please visit my Ebay store for records, 45's, cassette tapes and comics of all different genres. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you viewing my listing.
