Lee Allen & His Band - Walkin' with Mr. Lee LP (1958, Ember) SEALED, Rare R&B  

Artist: Lee Allen & His Band

Album: Walkin' with Mr. Lee

Description: I believe this is an original pressing, released in 1958 on the small label Ember Records.  This one is still sealed in the original outer plastic.  It came from the collection of a man who was a DJ at Yale University in the 1950's/60's.  Most of his records were promos and/or 1st pressings sent to the station by the labels.  I'm thinking this one is the same, but the sleeve is identical for all three released done in 1958, 1959 & 1961 so it's impossible to tell with certainly without opening it up.   I have had this looked over by a couple of record shops and both agree that the plastic is era-appropriate and it is indeed the original seal.  It's incredibly rare to find a sealed example of any desirable LP from the late 1950's.

Please note: there is a smaller EP version of this with the same cover art.  This is NOT the EP, it's the full 12" LP version.

Sleeve Condition: VG+, there are a couple of small tears - one at the bottom left corner, and one on the top edge.  There is a bit of corner wear and the outer plastic could use a good cleaning, that's why I didn't grade this an EX.  There is no other visible wear though.

Vinyl: The vinyl is still sealed and unused.  It is presumed to be in near mint condition.  

I want buying from me to be a good experience for you.  I also know that condition can be very subjective, so I encourage you to see pics for exact condition details and ask questions if you need additional information.  As always, the item you see is the one you will get.  Please see my feedback, I think that will show that I am an accurate and fair grader and make sure my customers are happy.  

Check out my other listings, I'm adding several very cool new records to the store this week from a couple of recent collection purchases.  Please mark me as a favorite seller if you like what you see.  I have bunch of stuff to get rid of.  Good luck and happy bidding!!
