SHEP & LIMELITES~OUR ANNIVERSARY~MEGA-RARE ORIG HULL LP
What separates Shep & the Limelites from the countless other doo wop vocal groups of the 1950s and early '60s is the distinctive singing and songwriting of James Sheppard. Sheppard, aside from his amazingly expressive, Sam Cooke-like singing voice, was adept at writing detailed romantic ballads that were a step or two above the norm, and what's more, he had a tendency to link them together through subtle references in the lyrics, so that, in a sense, his songs with the Heartbeats and the Limelites formed a long, interlocking story of departures and returns. The story, as it were, really starts with the Heartbeats' 1956 single "A Thousand Miles Away," and following the collapse of that group, Sheppard formed the Limelites in 1961, and released "Daddy's Home," which picks up where "Miles" left off, even including a last line that croons "I'm not a thousand miles away," all supported by a poignant (but half-buried) sax line. This brief album collection includes "Daddy's Home," another sequel, "What Did Daddy Do," the elegant "Gee Baby, What About You," the rocking "Everything's Gonna Be Alright," and other sides from the group's stay at Hull Records. This one lp is my favorite Doo Wop of all time! Good Luck!! Jacket is VG++ with only a bit of wear to back of jacket, seams spine, front and back all beautiful! Lp is NM with like new appearance! Don't miss this one lp!
All of my lps are packed in LP mailers well sandwiched with the lp outside the jacket. Bubble wrapped with cardboard protectors. A 100% gaurantee on all LP's, if for any reason your not satisfied you get your money back! Lp's are play graded on my VPI HRX using either a Van Den Hull XGW or a Mono Titan from Lyra. Thanks for looking at my auction.
