This is Detroit R&B singing group The Midnighters featuring Hank Ballard singing "Annie Had A Baby" on Federal 12195 from 1954. This classic R&B record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in a Federal Records company sleeve. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve that is in MINT condition. These sleeves are made in Canada or England and are one-off sleeves that are NOT mass produced. This item comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve with a cardboard backer separating the record from the picture sleeve. This is the rarer pressing on the silver top Federal label.
U.S. postage and handling is $4.00 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.
I grade in direct sunlight or under a high intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 43 years.
If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 43 years now and as of February 2022 I am celebrating 23 years on eBay.
