Description

A Doo Wop collector's dream! One of a kind, never before released 33+1/3 vinyl record album recorded in 1965 by the original members of The Four Coins. Recorded in New York City with a full orchestra. During the peak years of their career they won Act of the Year in 1963 and had already recorded the million selling hit Shangri La.

The following letter will be included as well as a copy of a photo of The Four Coins, signed by Al Prince. He wrote "I am getting up in years and I can't take any of it with me!". (And then he gave me this... some collectors spend years looking through record collections for something like this). Al wrote "these beautiful songs and lush sounding arrangements were recorded with a full orchestra in NYC in 1965. If you are any kind of true collector, I'm sure you will agree that this very unique and one of a kind album is well worth it! (approx $8,000-$10k+). And, the truth of the matter is that the value will keep increasing as time goes by! ..should frame this for preservation...enough said... Thank you for your time and interest.. and possible purchase!" Sincerely, Al Prince.

(this letter from Al will be included with the purchase) All the songs on this album sound clear except for just one song, Doo-wah-diddy, there is a small mark just on that song, it does not skip and you can still hear the words, but can also hear an audible scratchy sound in the background when the needle plays on just that part of the record. Doesn't interfere with the play of the record, just the sound on that one song. Guaranteed satisfaction, return within 2 weeks for refund by some form of insured mail registered signed receipt if not satisfied. Shipping, handling, and insurance will be free (handled by me). Please see our other auctions including some truly unique items from Al Prince's travels during his tours. Thank you!
