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

THE ROYAL TEENS (ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS THE ROYALS BUT CHANGED THEIR NAME SO AS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE DOO WOP GROUP OF THE SAME NAME) WERE A TALENTED SELF-CONTAINED ROCK'N'ROLL BAND WHO HIT THE WORLDWIDE MUSIC CHARTS IN JANUARY, 1958 WITH "SHORT SHORTS" WHICH REACHED #3 ON THE BILLBOARD NATIONAL SURVEY AND STAYED 16 WEEKS IN THE HOT 100 CHART. THE RECORD WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON A PRIVATE LABEL, POWER RECORDS. THE SONG'S INSTANT POPULARITY LED THE LABEL OWNER TO LICENCE THE PRODUCTION TO ABC-PARAMOUNT. LATER THAT YEAR THE GROUP SCORED AGAIN WITH A SMOOTH BALLAD TITLED "BELIEVE ME" WHICH HIT #26 ON THE CHARTS. ALAN FREED PLAYED "SHORT SHORTS" NIGHTLY THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY AND DICK CLARK SPUN IT EVERY AFTERNOON ON AMERICAN BANDSTAND. THE BAND NEVER RELEASED AN ALBUM BUT WERE QUITE ACTIVELY RECORDING AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE NUMBER OF TRACKS ON THE ALBUM. THE BAND'S KEYBOARDIST, BOB GAUDIO LATER BECAME A MEMBER OF THE FOUR SEASONS AND HAD A HAND IN WRITING MANY OF THE FOUR SEASONS HITS.

THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE BAND'S DISCOGRAPHY. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED (UP UNTIL THE TIME OF THIS RELEASE) TRACKS ON THE ALBUM. THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT DOES CONTAIN A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE WHERE SOMETHING HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE SLEEVE. OTHERWISE THERE IS ONLY SOME VERY MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE ORIGINAL TRACK LISTING ON THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE WAS NOT CORRECT AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS STUCK LABELS TO SHOW THE CORRECT LISTING WHERE THE LISTING WAS INCORRECT. THIS CAN BE SEEN ON THE SCAN WHERE WHITE MARKS APPEAR IN THE TRACK LISTING. THERE IS ALSO A VERY SMALL SPOT ON THE REAR WHERE THE SLEEVE HAS RECEIVED SOME MINOR DAMAGE. THE RECORD IS GRADED AS NEAR MINT.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Short Shorts / Royal Blue / Little Trixie / Why / All Right Baby / Planet Rock / Was It A Dream / Pretty Girl / Open The Door / Sham Rock / Not Meant For Lovers / Big Name Button. Side 2 - Believe Me / Harvey's Got A Girl Friend / Dottie Ann / Sham Rock / Wounded Heart / Hangin' Around / My Memories Of You / Coolation / My Kind Of Dream / Leotards / Little Cricket / Sittin' With My Baby.
