HERE'S WHAT'S BEING FEATURED IN THIS AUCTION:
This is a 1950s recording of The Heartbeats singing Tormented and After Everybody's Gone on Network records number 71200 (GBV = $120).
The Heartbeats were a 1950s American doo-wop group best known for their song A Thousand Miles Away, which charted at #53 in 1957.
The Heartbeats were formed in the mid 1950s in Jamaica, Queens. Originally called "The Hearts", they switched in 1955 when a female group by the same name scored a minor billboard hit. They were signed shortly after James "Shep" Sheppard joined the group, and were shuffled between various production companies over the next few years. The group split up in 1959, and Sheppard later went on to start Shep and the Limelites.
This record is in good condition with very minor scuffing. The label has some minor wear. Buyer will include $3 for shipping. Thanks.
