Product Information

(C45s)Stranger on the Shore/ Cielito Lindo by Mr. Acker Bilk
Label: Atco 6217 Year: 1962
Factory sleeve included
Condition: M- $20.00

This is not a particularly valuable record, but it's one of my personal favorites and is on my perpetual hunt list everywhere I shop. It's easy to find copies in trashed condition, but finding one with Near Mint or better audio has proven difficult. Note that we give this one a 2-star recommendation: That means, if you're a fan of Easy Listening or Pop Instrumentals, you must have a copy of this single. Even if you're not, I think you'll like it... such a gorgeous clarinet tone, what's not to like? After all, note that it was also a hit on the Black/RnB singles chart in 1962... quite a broad appeal. Credits include "with the Leon Young Chorale." This appears to have been a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. The labels grade very close to Mint, and the vinyl looks almost untouched. The audio also grades Near Mint, with no distortion but some very light surface noise occasionally audible.
