Thisis NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you'll get. GUARANTEED!) ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ Legend has it that Van"The Man" Morrison paid $30.00 for Lorraine Ellison's first single("Stay with me", included in this album) back in 1968; a money which, at that time 43 years ago, probably could have bought him an Irish (or Scottish)castle (with the ghost included), vintage car and a private chauffeur. Anotherlegend has it that the studio band broke into spontaneous standing ovation whenLorraine Ellison finished her first, one and only take of the song and JerryRagovoy stopped the tape. We find both legends completely compelling andcredible. Namely, from the moment Lorraine starts to the moment she ends, thelistener is in deep trance. If you have never heard the title song, take ourword: it is one of the singularly moving and emotionally powerful - almostoverwhelming - moments we have experienced in 40 years of collecting records.If you are emotional, be forewarned; playing this song may push you to thecliff, or maybe over it. Lorraine's voice is theelementary force of nature, unlike ANYTHING you have heard, or are likely tohear again. Compared to her, Aretha Franklin comes across as a weak, girl-schoolish whimper of a voice. Sadly, the album has been unavailable in anyway, manner or format since 1966. The album includes covers of Irma Thomas, Dinah Washington, Sam Cooke and many others, plus our favorite Lorraine Ellisonballad: the gorgeous "My man's gone now" - her rendition of theclassic Gershwin ballad from "Porgy and Bess", immortalized by NinaSimone, the high priestess of soul, which rightly closes the album on a high, glorious, spiritual note. Track listing: Heart and Soul - Games that lovers play - He's my guy - What adifference a day makes - A change is gonna come - If I had a hammer - When loveflies away - Cry me a river - Stay with me - What is a woman - That's for me -My man's gone now. ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ · CONDITION: · THE RECORD (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALLrecords are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discretesunlight) (a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT.The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparklesalmost like new. (b) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, whichwas usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound onsuch thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do notexpect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording! (c) The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve. (d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!! · THE COVER COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP The following flaws orimperfections are noted on the cover: - Cover has a sticker residue (partially peeled remnants ofthe price sticker or some other sticker; the buyer can probably remove thesesmall, still affixed bits and pieces of the sticker with a minor effort) (thesticker remnants appear underneath the shrink wrap) - Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease) in one of the corners. (VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE ONLY) - Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged (BARELYVISIBLE) - Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); Onthe scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY) . - Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on back side, apparently from aging. NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ POSTAGE &SHIPPING: We offer THREE postage rates for both Domesticand International Mail: Media Mail, Priority Mail and Express Mail fordomestic, and First Class, Priority International Mail, and ExpressInternational Mail for international orders.
