USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

THE ROBINS WERE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND INFLUENTIAL R&R GROUPS OF THE LATE 1940s AND 1950s, THEY WERE FOUNDED BY TY TERRELL AND TWIN BROTHERS BILLY AND ROY RICHARDS. THE ROBINS WERE ONE OF THE EARLIEST SUCH VOCAL GROUPS WHO ESTABLISHED THE BASIC PATTERN FOR THE DOO-WOP SOUND. THEY BEGAN THEIR CAREER AS THE BLUEBIRDS BUT SWITCHED TO RECORDING AS THE ROBINS IN MAY 1949. IN 1955, THE GROUP DISAGREED OVER WHETHER TO REMAIN ON THE WEST COAST OR SIGN WITH ATLANTIC RECORDS AND MOVE TO THE EAST COAST. THIS LED TO A SPLIT WITHIN THE GROUP. MUSIC PRODUCERS JERRY LEIBER AND MIKE STOLLER TOOK FORMER ROBINS MEMBERS NUNN AND CARL GARDNER, RECRUITED SINGERS LEON HUGHES AND BILLY GUY AND FORMED THE COASTERS. THE FOUNDING RICHARDS BROTHERS AND TYRELL CONTINUED TO RECORD AS THE ROBINS UNTIL 1961. OVER THEIR CAREER THE ROBINS RELEASED NEARLY FIFTY SINGLES UNDER THE NAME OF THE ROBINS AND OTHER PSEUDONYMS.

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SPARK ALBUM FEATURING 12 OF THEIR MOST RECOGNISED RECORDINGS. THE SLEEVE IS MADE OF HEAVY DUTY CARDBOARD AS MANY OF THE ALBUM SLEEVES WERE AT THAT TIME OF THIS RELEASE AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION. IT DOES BEAR SOME RUBBING WHICH IS COMMON ON THIS TYPE OF SLEEVE AS THEY WERE NOT LAMINATED. OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS ONLY MINOR WEAR ON THE EDGES AND CORNERS. THE RECORD IS GRADED EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Riot In Cell Block / Wrap It Up / If Teardrops Were Kisses / Whadaya Want / Smokey Joe's Cafe / Just Like A Fool. Side 2 - Framed / Loop-De-Loop Mambo / I Love Paris / One Kiss / I Must Be Dreaming / The Hatchet Man.
