Item Description
Eddie Billups - Soldier's Prayer / Ask My Heart
(Peachtree 104)

Guaranteed original Pressing, not a reissue!

Condition: Weak VG+ (This appears to be a low-mileage copy, and plays very well with almost no noise or distortion.  Disc retains pretty good shine and only displays a moderate number of scuffs and very minor scratches, none deep.  Someone lightly wrote their initials on the "Prayer"side vinyl with a pen or some other dull instrument, however this can barely be seen and can't be felt or heard.  "Prayer" label has XOLs and a couple minor marks. Please listen to full, unaltered clips)

Listen to Ask My Heart:


Welcome to the 45 Vault!  I am a longtime Detroit-area record collector and radio DJ, and will be offering prime items from my personal collection each week, mainly in the Soul and Funk categories, so please add me to your favorite seller list; the best is yet to come!  I never sell reissues or bootlegs, and all discs are 100% guaranteed to be original pressings. 

Please read my feedback from soul lovers around the world - I grade accurately, ship securely, and strive to give you the best service possible.

GRADING:

I grade each disc visually as well as audibly, and provide unaltered audio clips for your convenience. 

I use the Goldmine grading system: 

M (flawless, like new - very few discs merit this high grade)
M- (close to perfect, with only the most insignificant visible flaws and no audible degradation)
VG+ (a well cared-for disc that shows very minor wear and tear, a 'keeper' copy for most collectors)
VG (an average 'as-found' copy; some background noise that does not overwhelm the music)
VG- (a sizable amount of scuffs and scratches, noise level higher but music still dominates)
G+ (disc is very worn but plays without skips; a low-end filler copy
G (very poor shape - G records will never be offered)

Clips from the actual disc on offer are recorded on a Technics direct-drive turntable with a Shure M-95ED cartridge, with no filtering or enhancement whatsoever, into a TEAC standalone CD burner.  The discs have been recorded in stereo, and will sound even better on a mono system.

PAYMENT:

I accept Paypal only, with payment due within seven days of the close of the auction. 

My goal is complete customer satisfaction, so please bid with confidence. If you have any questions, please contact me.  If you are not completely satisfied, I offer a full refund for discs returned within seven days of receipt.

SHIPPING:

I ship in new, commercial grade, 200 pound edge-crush-test cardboard 45 rpm shipping boxes, with cardboard spacers on each side of the disc for additional protection.  All records have been carefully cleaned by hand, and are enclosed in a new poly sleeve.

Shipping rates within the U.S. are $3.00 for one 45 via USPS First-Class Mail with delivery confirmation. Additional discs are free.
