This item is one of a batch of SEALED ORIGINAL LPs from 1960's and 1970's from a warehouse find by one of our distributors of! These are original sealed copies of some juicy semi-obscurities!! Since we cannot see through the shrink-wrap to ensure perfection inside the record jackets after (in some cases) 55 years, we cannot take any opened copies back in return—sealed copies are fine—but once they’re opened, that’s it. The risk is minor, we believe, as these were all stored in an operational warehouse until we purchased them. They appear to be in excellent condition. Very few copies remaining on these gems, please act fast!

ESQUIRES "Get On Up And Get Away" (BS 300): The Esquires were a vocal group from Milwaukee, WI, formed in 1957 at the height of the R&B vocal boom. The group moved to Chicago, where they first tried without success to interest Curtis Mayfield, then trying to run the Windy C and Mayfield labels, in giving them a chance to record. Several more approaches to other producers finally led them to Bill "Bunky" Sheppard, who owned a small Chicago label called Constellation, which had recorded Gene Chandler and Nolan Chance, among others. Sheppard not only liked the Gilbert Moorer song 'Get On Up,' that they had recorded as a demo, but liked the group.

It was Sheppard's intention to record the Esquires on Constellation, but the collapse of Constellation late in 1966, made for some changes. The first was a shift to the Bunky label, which Sheppard salvaged out of the wreckage of Constellation, and the second was the addition of Millard Edwards to their lineup. The Esquires debut single, 'Get On Up,' finally appeared on the Bunky label, distributed nationally by New York-based Scepter Records. It was a huge success, soaring to number three on the R&B charts  and number 11 on the pop charts. Suddenly, the Esquires were one of the hotter R&B vocal groups of 1967. 'Get on Up' completed the transition of the Esquires from a local to a national act. In October 1967, the Esquires issued a follow-up recording, 'And Get Away' (also written by Gilbert Moorer), which charted at number 22 and number nine, pop and R&B, respectively. With this second hit under their belts, the group's debut (and only) LP followed as a matter of course, released in 1967 on Bunky Records.
