This is Detroit R&B singing group Hank Ballard and The Midnighters singing "Kansas City" on King STEREO 5195 from 1959. This # 72 chart record looks to be a strong VG++ with very minor surface markings but plays in NM condition and comes in a King 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. It should be noted that the picture sleeve has a different flip side listed than what is offered here on the King release. It was not unusual back in the day for international releases to have different flips than what was on the USA releases. 

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.
