EDDIE WILLIAMS (VOCAL GROUP THE SHEIKS)

(US: Coronado CM-112, 1964)
Vinyl
Record conditon: Excellent +++ (plays Excellent ++++)
Labels condition: Very good + (A); Very ggod - (B) (SEE DESCRIPTION)
Given that I knew bugger all about Eddie Williams, or the backing singers on one side (The Sheiks), I didn't expect to find any youtube postings at all. The fact that both sides have full postings must mean something. It's saved me giving any lengthy description, so I'll just add a bit of further information that I've picked up while surfing. I've tracked the label down to El Paso, a city in west Texas, so I assume that Eddie and the boys came from somewhere in the vicinity. As you'd expect from the name, El Paso is on the border with Mexico, so it surprised me to hear such a 'Big City' sound emanating from my speakers. Discography's are awash with singers called Eddie Williams, so I haven't even bothered to wittle him down any further. One youtube posting has confirmed that the record is of Texan origins, and also provided me with the date that I've given.
Both sides have full youtube postings for the uninitiated. The clicks than be heard in places are NOT on my copy.
The vinyl is in near-perfect condition, and both sides play like new.
Both labels have some water-staining damage, which is worse on the B-side - I've privided two scans to show this. It was either caused by water entering the storage at some point, or by being kept in very damp conditions.
This record has been played on both sides to verify condition, but there's a full money-back guarantee on all my sales, and I'll refund anyone who isn't totally captivated.
