This is Queens, New York vocal harmony group The Heartbeats (featuring "Shep" Sheppard) singing "A Thousand Miles Away" on Rama 216 from 1956. This # 53 chart record looks VG++ with minor surface markings but plays in NM condition. The picture sleeve is a custom sleeve that was 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. Original copies of this record on the Hull label can fetch up to $200 - on the Rama label up to $80.

U.S. postage and handling is $4.25 for 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.
