Handy Man by Commotions
Label: Blue Rock 4056
Year: 1968
Condition: M-
Price: $25.00
This is a new, unplayed stock copy from the Louise Neal 45 Collection, in its original Blue Rock factory sleeve. Both of these tracks are top-notch Northern Soul dancers, and they practically sound like different groups: "Someday" has a male lead, while the Motown-style "Handy Man" (no relation to the Jimmy Jones classic) has a female lead. Check out the mp3 snippet of "Handy Man" we just added to our online "jukebox!" Don't they sound like Honey Cone? Either way, as a dance fan, you come out a winner! Collector Nerd Alert: Although the "matrix numbers" indicate that "Someday" is the A side, on this copy, the "Handy Man" title is surrounded by two sets of bold asterisks — a sure-fire indicator of an A side, but we're going with the matrix numbers this time. :-) Note: This beautiful copy would grade Mint across the board, but the labels grade Near Mint to reflect light storage wear (see scan). The vinyl (styrene) and audio are flawless.
