RARE RECORD ON THE ORIOLE AMERICAN LABEL
THE FIVE COUNTS
WATERMELON WALK / SPANISH NIGHTS
ORIOLE CBA 1769
RELEASED 1962
This was the only record of New York-based group The Five Counts to be released in this country. Originally it had been released on the Brent label in the US. This record was in the first batch of Oriole’s new venture into issuing American releases, in September 1962.
It’s a sort of funky soul instrumental. I bought this record brand new at the time and it has been in my vast collection of Soul, R&B and Blues ever since.
Both sides of the record play absolutely perfectly. Visibly, the record looks very clean. Over 59 years it has been played and handled a few times but, as I have said, plays perfectly. I can hear no extraneous surface noise. There is no handwriting on the record and I have graded it as Excellent (EX). [Any reflections in the photos are caused by the surroundings and are not on the vinyl.]
The record is in it’s original sleeve, which has no tears. Over 59 years the sleeve has been handled quite a bit but is in remarkably good condition. The only very small bit of handwriting on the sleeve is it’s catalogue number (1769) in the top right-hand corner on the front. I have graded the sleeve as Excellent (EX)
The well packaged record will be despatched by Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Delivery at a cost of £3.
I always endeavour to combine postage where possible.
U.K. delivery only.
