Rare black doo-wop/soul 45 originally released on the small Bronx N.Y. label, Cee Jay, with "At the Teen Center" as the A-side and "Beggar to a Queen" as the B-side, billed as DeRoy Green and the Kool Gents. Since it failed to chart, their manager, Lillian Claiborne had it re-released with the sides reversed on her own Soozee label. Not sure it did any better that way, but likely got some local radio play. (The Soozee version seems to be more scarce than the Cee Jay version.) DeRoy Green was also in The Twilighters for some time.

Decent copies of this record are selling from around $100 and up, if you can even find one. This copy looks VG and plays about the same with a bit of surface noise but no "incidents" (play-tested). Comes in a plain white paper sleeve. NOTE: The "out of roundness" look of the whole record is nothing more than a scanner rotation/cropping issue in the picture and not with the record itself. I assure you that it is perfectly round. The pictures are mainly to show the label.
