For sale is a superior original / OG (not a repress) example of scarce Funk / Northern Soul / Psychedelic masterpiece "Your Autumn Of Tomorrow / Uncle Funk," by The Crow, on the red and black Inner Ear label, IE-429-A/B. Matrix "IE -429 A" and "Bestway" and backwards "37" on "Your Autumn Of Tomorrow" side, "IE-429-B" and "Bestway" and backwards "37" on "Uncle Funk" side (see photos).  

Condition:

"Uncle Funk" side has two black magic marker "X's," as well as the date "1/15/69" written in black ink on it. Labels otherwise very clean and glossy. Vinyl rates a stunning, as-new, NM... as nice as playing copy of this as you are ever likely to find. Please listen to sound samples at bottom of page.

This comes from the collection of a Washington D.C.-area DJ who ran a radio station out of his basement from 1965 to 1969, when you could do that sort of thing. He stored the promos and 45s he received from record labels, many small soul, Latin and psychedelic labels, in file cabinets where they were preserved away from most, moisture, dust, etc. and hence are in superior condition. This is one of two Inner Ear titles I found in his collection, with the second, one from Free Form Experiment, also to sell this week.

My grading system:

STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition. 


M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.


M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade. 


NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection


VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.


VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections


VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.  


VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better. 


GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
