We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow.

Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

COLLECTION COPY!
VERY CLEAN for a FIRST PRINT = Original 1957 issue ...(see CLEAN condition detail below)
Noted this LP has sold for upwards to $400 (in 'decent' condition) in the past ...
The first album released by VeeJay (in 1957) has ten tracks by the Eldorados, and when they ran out of title artist tracks, they added a couple of tracks by The Magnificents. "At My Front Door," opens the proceedings ...a upbeat track with a nice natural echo, helped to make the group a popular "live" attraction all over North America. This 1955 song was also VEE-JAY's first ever to register on the national Pop charts."Annie's Answer" is a novelty inspired by Hank Ballard's "Work With Me, Annie" that claims the lady in question never wanted or had a baby. "There In the Night" is a balladic dance floor grinder that includes narration. "Now That You've Gone" is predictably melancholy, with tinkling piano runs behind quietly crooning vocal backing. "A Fallen Tear" is another teen tearjerker.
"Rock 'N' Roll's For Me" is a rollicking novelty that features energetic guitar and tenor sax solos in the break. "I'll Be Forever Loving You" is a swinging track that was a nationwide hit on both the Pop and R&B charts. "I Began To Realize" is an emotional ballad set in a chapel.
Songs #5 and #10 are by a quintet called The Magnificents. Their most prominent member was L.C. Cooke, Sam's brother (and composer of "You Send Me"). "Caddy Bo" features Barbara Arrington, who sings of undying love for a weird guy who's also a cad. "Up On the Mountain" has the Magnificents in classic upbeat doowop mode, with a prominent bass singer and foot-tapping rhythm. At My Front Door / The Eldorados
