This is Kentucky R&B vocal group The Moonglows featuring Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester singing "Starlite" and "In Love" on Chess 1605 from 1955. This classic R&B record looks VG++ with minor surface markings and some label wear. "Starlite" plays in NM condition. "In Love" plays VG++ with minor background noise. This record comes in a Chess Records company sleeve. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. This sleeve is a one-off sleeve that was 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. 

U.S. postage and handling is $4.25 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.
