This is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame R&B vocal group The Flamingos singing "Please come back Home" and "I Want To Love You" on Checker 821 from 1955. This early R&B record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in a Checker Records company sleeve. This is the original pressing with the checkerboard Checker labels. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve that was made in Canada or England and is in MINT condition. It 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. Price guides suggest a valuation of $100 for a NM copy. You can own this excellent copy for a fraction of that amount and receive this beautiful custom picture sleeve as well.

U.S. postage and handling is $4.00 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote.

I tend to grade conservatively. Several customers have left feedback that the records were actually better than stated. 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.
