An excellent ORIGINAL Black Crownless KING label with the 2" King
logo! (King 618) from 1959. Title on cover is "Singin' and Swingin'"
but on the label it's just "The Midnighters".

Absolutely some of the finest R&B 50's Rock & Roll made. This LP
has the ORIGINAL version of "The Twist" written by Hank Ballard
and later made famous by Chubby Checker who had the big hit with
the song.

The record plays a VG+ on Side One having some crackles to start
out the side. Side Two plays more of a VG+(+). The cover is in EXCELLENT
condition!

As many already know, Hank was pretty much James Brown's main man.



I've been a serious record collector for 50 years. For 25+ of those years I've worked in new and used record shops cleaning/grading/pricing LP's.  I've accumulated many great records in excellent condition over the years.

Every record that I'm selling is from my personal collection. They are not dusty, dirty records.

The record you are bidding on has been cleaned on the top-of-the-line Nitty Gritty Machine and play-graded with a new Grado stylus. It has been accurately and conservatively graded.

As many of you already know, vinyl from the 50's, 60's and early 70's might appear to have scuffs, etc but when played sound excellent, with no audible defects.  Vinyl from the mid-70's on might look fine but are sometimes crappy pressings, made with re-cycled vinyl etc. I go the extra mile to be accurate with my grading.

I ship records promptly and securely in record mailers with sufficient padding. BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Thank you.
