Lift your head off that tear filled pillow and enjoy the golden era of R&B with the vinyl LP "We Are The Imperials" by Little Anthony and the Imperials. Released in 1959, this classic album captures the essence of the 1950s music scene, featuring a blend of pop, soul, and doo-wop that defined a generation. The record, labeled END 303, spins at 33 RPM, allowing you to experience the rich, mono audio quality that's become a sought-after commodity for audiophiles and music collectors alike.


Proudly made in the United States, this original grey label edition comes as its first pressing, adding a layer of authenticity for enthusiasts. With the original cover intact, the album encapsulates the timeless style of the doo-wop and classic R&B genres. Whether you're looking to complete your vinyl collection or just wanting to enjoy some vintage sounds, this piece is a true gem from the past. The only flaws being some minimal static crackle heard only during the quieter parts and in between songs which somehow gives the album more authentic sounds. There are a few visible hairline scratches and fingerprints that do not affect the sound. Also the previous owner has their mailing address stickers on the album cover and each side of the record labels (see last two photos).


This item will be shipped in a heavy duty cardboard mailer with the record inside a new polyline inner sleeve, along with the original inner sleeve and cover protected by a polyethylene outer sleeve. Please see all the photos to help determine the overall condition and feel free to message with any questions.
