1. Up for auction is a rare, guaranteed original 1957 mono pressing of Dedicated to You by the "5" Royales on the legendary King Records label (Catalog #580). This is an authentic mid-century pressing, not a reissue or a reproduction. The center labels feature the iconic early King black-and-silver design with the large "KING" crown logo at the top, "HI-FI" on the right, and the classic "LONG 33⅓ PLAY" emblem at the bottom. This record is a landmark artifact of early soul history, highlighting the legendary songwriting and blazing guitar work of Lowman Pauling. Detailed Condition Report
   • The Vinyl (G+): As pictured, the vinyl shows various  surface scuffs, hairline marks, and scratch marks across the tracks from years of handling. However, it has been play-tested and plays entirely through. There might be an occasional skip depending on your stylus weight. It delivers a strong, punchy mono playback with some background surface noise, clicks, and pops typical of an authentic 1950s G+ grade, but nothing that skips or overpowers the group's incredible vocal harmonies.
   • The Center Labels (EX): The labels are remarkably well-preserved. There is no writing, no tape, and no tearing. The silver text is completely legible, and the black background is bold and dark.
   • Jacket: Shows wear, stains on the reverse side, and the upper and lower seams are completely split.

Delivery time is usually one to two weeks, depending on foreign customs, and each destination. Registered mail is required for any interantional shipments with a value over $100 for buyer and seller protection on Ebay and Paypal. Registered mail costs an additional $12.00 above normal shipping costs.  Packages with four or more records sent to international destinations require Priority Mail due to the weight of the package.

International customers who want insurance and/or tracking must use either registered or global express mail service. (These services are not available with first class postal international mail service.) Registered mail takes a week longer, due to security handling. International registered mail services for one record costs $19.00. Global Express Mail costs approximately $40.00. If the amount is less, I will refund you the difference. After winning a record, please notify me, if you desire these services. I can send you an amended Ebay invoice, with the desired shipping services.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ! Once a package leaves the US, only the postal service has control over handling or delivery time. Most international shipments are arriving in a week/ 

So far, all my shipments have arrived safely. The customer has the option to select insurance for absolute security.

There is a complete audio stream of at least one side of each record on the listing page. Occasionally the audio stream "times out" overseas, limiting the sound, to a brief "clip". If this happens, please email or message me, and I will try to make a correction. Here is my grading system:

NM- = record appears mostly new and uplayed

EX or VG++ = record looks great, may be a few light paper scuffs, plays like new.

VG+ = fairly nice copy, may be a few light marks, occasional tick or pop, but mostly clean sound.

VG = wear, scuffing, light scratches, ticks and pops, but a very playable copy.

VG- many scuffs or groove wear, plays with some noise, but still listenable.

G+ = a playable copy but very very worn, plays with lots of noise

G through G- = wall hanger
