This is North Carolina R&B vocal group The 5 Royales singing "Help Me Somebody" and "Crazy Crazy Crazy" on Apollo 446 from 1953. This early doo-wop record looks and plays in NM condition. There is what appears to be minor sticker residue on the A side of this record. 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. Price guides suggest a valuation of $150 to $200  for a NM copy. You can own this NM copy for a lot less and receive this beautiful custom picture sleeve with it.     

U.S. postage and handling is free 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 44 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 44 years now and as of February 2023 am celebrating 24 years on eBay.
