Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure. The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing. This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

The "Original" Ink Spots
Golden Favorites
Decca Records DL_74297 LP 33RPM 12" 1962 (USA)
It's been said the the Ink Spots were a precursor to R&B and rock 'n' roll. More precisely, remove their idiosyncratic guitar riff intro and "Honey Chile" bass singer narration, and what's left is rudimentary doowop: a tenor lead over quietly droning vocal chords.
Beginning in 1944 with the death of bass vocalist and cello-as-bass player Hoppy Jones, this quartet's line-up was in a constant state of flux. Presented on DECCA's 1962 compilation of GOLDEN FAVORITES (DL-4297) are the original 78 Ink Spots sides in all their lower fidelity glory.
Their very first #1 single, "Address Unknown," is part of the program.
The coda of "Set the World on Fire" has all four harmonizing.
Hoppy's replacement, Herb Kenny does the talking on "To Each His Own." Deek Watson takes lead duties on "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." For all other sides, solos are by Bill Kenny, Herb's brother.
(Includes release years plus peak national Pop chart positions.)
