Four Tops 45 Orange Vinyl Group of 2 RCA 1949-50
<B>Four Tunes 45 Red Vinyl Group of 2 (RCA, 1949-50).</B></I> The slick Harlem vocal group charted on both Billboard's Pop and R&B charts in the late 1940s and early 1950s, quite the rarity for R&B groups at that time. With Goldmine's Record Album Price Guide referring to "orange vinyl" and Jerry Osborne's "Rockin' Records" listing "cherry red vinyl", we will call these beautiful copies as something between orange and cherry red. Check it out at our website and make up your own mind! Included: "I'm Just A Fool In Love"/ "The Lonesome Road" (RCA 50-0042, 1949) in NM 8, and "Old Fashioned Love"/ "Kentucky Babe" (RCA 50-0085, 1950) in EX 7. Here's another rarity: both records are accompanied by sleeves that the Rockin' Rev has had autographed by three of the original four members, Pat Best, Jimmy Gordon, and Jimmie Nabbie, the latter two of which died within a year of each other in 1992 and 1993. <I>LOA from the Rockin' Rev Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Recordings (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
