True Love Don't Grow On Trees/ Sure Thing (Vinyl 7")

A Deep City Records release (one of five for Helene) that originally came out in 1965 on the Miami-based label.

Acclaimed as the First Lady Of Miami Soul, Helene Smith came back into prominence with the issue of Numero's 2006 'Eccentric Soul' album of Deep City cuts.

These two tracks only previously appeared as a long-lost single that goes for
£300 a pop these days.

Remastered from the original sound source, 'True Love Don't Grow On Trees' is a gorgeous mid-tempo soulful heartbreaker, while the flipside and its wandering guitar line sounds like a girl group buried treasure that would have sounded fantastic covered by Dusty Springfield.

In the hands of Helene Smith, both tracks are nothing short of magnificent.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
