For many years we believed that this album was a live set recorded at London Palladium, and were totally shocked to find out that, um…the audience is missing…and that the recording sounds suspiciously like a studio session. Well, yes…it IS a STUDIO album. This is one of those 50's albums which the producers would bill the session as a live set to imply or suggest the spontaneity of the performance (Jimmy Reed's "At Carnegie Hall" album comes to mind).  Never mind. This is still the finest solo work by the late, great Frankie Lymon left available to us. The voice has never been in better shape, and the material, ranging from pop to R&R to swing and jazz ballads leaves nothing to be desired. The innocence and sense of longing in Frankie Lymon's voice is palpable.

 

Track listing: Let's fall in love --- So goes my love --- Somebody loves me --- Fools rush in --- You were only foolin' --- My baby just cares for me --- My girl --- Too young --- Little Girl --- Yours --- Creation of love --- Goody, goody

·                               CONDITION:

 

·                               RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG NEAR MINT (APPEARS UNPLAYED). The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(c)           The album comes with its original, 'rice paper' inner sleeve (typically used in the 50’s and very early 60’s) which has - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years! We believe that, despite great technological progress, these early 'rice paper' inner sleeves provided a degree of protection MUCH HIGHER than any other material used ever since.

 

(d)          The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

 

(e)           Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

 

(f)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

 

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

 

-        Cover has some light yellowish stains, probably from exposure to humidity.

 

-        Back cover has a small, rectangular, sticker residue (small yellowish discoloration from the removed price sticker)

 

-        Cover has a tiny "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

 

-        Cover has one corner slightly dinged (nothing significant)

 

-        Cover shows some yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
