ONE OF THE LEADING R&B VOCAL GROUPS ON “VEE JAY”, THE “EL DORADOS” HAD
A RELATIVELY SHORT CAREER WITH THEIR FIRST LINEUP, DURING WHICH THEY SCORED
A MASSIVE CROSSOVER HIT, 1955’s “AT MY FRONT DOOR” (NUMBER 17 ON THE POP
CHARTS AND NUMBER ONE R&B, WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 18 WEEKS). THEY MANAGED
ONLY ONE OTHER CHARTING RECORD   --   1956’s “I’LL BE FOREVER LOVING YOU” --
BEFORE THEIR INITIAL BREAKUP IN 1959. SUBSEQUENT LINEUPS AND NAME CHANGES
BROUGHT NO FURTHER    SUCCESS, BUT THEY CONTINUED PERFORMING WELL INTO THE
’80s. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE AND WANTED DOO WOP ALBUMS ISSUED IN
THE 1950s AND HERE OFFERED IN THE RARER 1957 1st PRESSING WITH THIN SILVER LINE
ALONG THE PERIMETER OF (MAROON) LABELS. IT INCLUDES 10 TRACKS BY THE GROUP
PLUS 2 OTHERS BY “THE MAGNIFICENTS”, A LESSER-KNOWN BAND WHO RECORDED FIVE
SINGLES FOR THE COMPANY.   THE DEEP GROOVE RECORD SPARKLES SHEEN AND LOOKS
IN VERY STRONG AND LIGHTLY PLAYED CONDITION, THE GLOSSY HARDCOVER IS ALSO
IN SOLID SHAPE WITH NO WRITING...HARD TO GET THIS NICER !
