Description
What a mega rare doo-wop 78 from THE FLAMINGOS. MINT UNPLAYED OLD STORE STOCK! On the CHECKER record label and the record # is: 850. The song "Would I Be Crying" is on Side A. and on Side B. is: "Just For A Kick". This is a hard record to find in good condition... most were beat to death from play. This is wonderful! This record is in E+ to N- condition! There are no edge chips. The labels are in E+ to N- condition, with no writing or wear... they look brand new! What a great, well cared for record. Doo-wop collectors... if you were looking for a top notch FLAMINGOS 78 on the CHECKER label... here it is! I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.
With their elegant, intricate and flawless vocal arrangements, the Flamingos are widely regarded as one of the best vocal groups in music history. The graceful vocals and sharp choreography of Motown’s biggest stars – the Temptations, the Supremes, the Jackson 5 and the Miracles among them – owe a debt to the Flamingos, as do such paragons of Philadelphia soul as the Spinners and Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Though many of the Flamingos’ recordings did not make the pop charts or even get heard beyond a regional fan base, they have with hindsight acquired a reputation as vocal-group classics.
