Derrick & Patsy - Housewife's Choice/ Gypsy Woman, original 1962 UK Island Records issue WI-018. The record on both sides play very well, with no skips or jumps, a little bit of back ground noise in some quiet places, but nothing major, the vinyl still has alot of gloss and is very bright, with a few surface marks and scuffs, over all VG+ condition. The labels are again free of any rips or tears, a little grubby as you would expect from this 50 year old label, again in VG+ condition. Although classic tracks, this is a very rare UK release from Island Records.
