ADDITIONAL INFO.

1952 in Chicago, Illinois, and still going as of 2006. Moreover, the membership of the band has stayed the same since 1960.
One of the few doo-wop groups to successfully update its sound, the Dells enjoyed most success in the late 1960s and 1970s as a soul music group with songs like "Oh, What a Night", "Stay in my Corner" and "Give your Baby a Standing Ovation" which was their only million-seller. The band acted as a consultant for a 1991 film about a fictional vocal group called The Five Heartbeats and they had a surprise hit from the soundtrack "The Heart is a House for Love". Their revived popularity caught the attention of NBC producer Roger Brown who featured them in a segment on "The Today Show" that same year.
As well as their recording career, the band also worked with Dinah Washington and Ray Charles as backup singers during the 1960s. They can also be heard singing the catchy background vocals on Barbara Lewis' "Hello Stranger". One of the members, Chuck Barksdale, was temporarily a member of the Moonglows with a young Marvin Gaye in the late 1950s. Falsetto tenor Johnny Carter was once a member of The Flamingos.
Two of their songs, "Wear It On Our Face" and "Run For Cover" are very popular on the Northern Soul circuit.
The Dells grew up in Harvey, Illinois and began singing together while attending Thornton Township High School.

R.R.C GRADINGS

SLEEVE

EXCELLENT

Single comes with original Chess sleeve. Unfortunately on one side there

is a extremely faint black biro mark. However this is not noticeable, this single will also be dispatched with a new rigid white cardboard sleeve.

LABEL(s)

EXCELLENT +

Both sides of this yellow Chess label are in excellent condition and look great.

VINYL APPEARANCE

NEAR MINT

There are no scratches or abrasions. On both sides the vinyl quality of this single is brilliant throughout.

AUDIO QUALITY

EXCELLENT

At the start of both songs there is some extremely faint background popping. This very quickly fades away and overall sound quality delivered by

'The Dells' is excellent.

Dear collector, we are the BARRACLOUGH Brothers of CollectableVinylRecords.

Sam and I have established a reputation as a TRUSTED supplier of RARE vinyl, based upon HONEST and THOROUGH descriptions of our items. Together we have undertaken the task of selling our father’s extensive record collection, which he has amassed during his time as a DJ and MUSIC CRITIC. It’s a considerable, and unique vinyl collection of albums and singles with many rare items included. In addition to the known rare records there are many DEMO and PROMOTIONAL items, which were not available for general purchase making them highly collectable. The chronology of the collection stretches from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Within this period, there is a concentration of records released between 1965 and 1969 - a seminal era for music that is reflected by its collectability. Although the spectrum of musical genre is varied, this collection heavily features PSYCHEDELIC, FREAKBEAT, PUNK, MOTOWN and NORTHERN SOUL. All our items have a low start price of £4.99, because we believe that each will reach its true market value ~ This is thanks, largely to our loyal client base we have aquired for consistently listing HIGHLY COLLECTABLE Vinyl. Fresh RARE records will be listed regularly, ending in the evenings, but as a rule of thumb, expect ;

* DESIREABLE Sixties PSYCHE/GARAGE and FREAKBEAT to finish on SATURDAY

* COLLECTABLE Sixties SOUL, MOTOWN and NORTHERN SOUL to finish on a SUNDAY.

* Consider ”PSYCHE SATURDAYS“ and ”SUNDAY SOUL” to be the Collectable Vinyl weekend.

If you have any questions concerning this item or wish to enquire about my record collection please contact me by asking a question via EBAY or EMAIL ~ collectablevinylrecords@gmail.com. We will aim to reply within 24 HOURS where possible.

We have a data-based collection, using the RARE RECORD PRICE GUIDES' grading scale (If you are unaware of this grading system please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will reply as soon as possible with the guides description). As you can see in the description there is a grading given for VINYL and AUDIO QUALITY. This is necessary because a record may seem poor quality when viewed, but when played the AUDIO QUALITY is often excellent. Conversely the VINYL QUALITY may seem excellent but when played the AUDIO QUALITY can be quite poor.

We will offer a FULL REFUND (INCLUDING P + P) if you find that any of the gradings (OUTER SLEEVE, LABEL, VINYL or AUDIO QUALITY) given in the listing do not match the description of RARE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. A FULL REFUND (INCLUDING P + P) policy prohibits scammers, but more importantly ensures our TRUE COLLECTORS complete piece of mind. As you can see by my feedback, we have attained a STRONG REPUTATION based upon the ACCURACY of my description, COMMUNICATION with clients and a quick and PROFESSIONAL postage. So, in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied, please notify me within 48 HOURS of receipt that you are returning the record and we will deposit your refund via PAYPAL.

For DOMESTIC delivery I offer a choice of ROYAL MAIL 1st Class , 1st Class Recorded Signed For or Special Delivery Next Day .
