The Three Chuckles formed in the 1950's, and played at various East Coast establishments. In 1954, they recorded a song called Runaround. The song was picked up by RCA Victor and became a hit, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard Charts. They went on to chart two other minor hits before finally recording their one and only album. Soon after, Alan Freed offered them a spot in his movie, Rock, Rock, Rock. They turned down the opportunity for an unknown reason. Then, Teddy Randazzo abruptly left the group for a solo career. This 1956 album, which was recorded prior to Teddy's departure, did not chart well. Because this album did not chart well, this album is a rare find. It's valued at $250 in the Goldmine Standard.

Does not affect play) Label: VG+ Original Record Sleeve: NO Grading Vinyl and Covers are inspected visually only, unless otherwise stated. I attempt to listen to each record, but it is not always possible. I never use stock photos. The pictures in my listings are of the actual item. I use the following general scale to determine cover, vinyl and label grades: Sealed Cover - Album is still sealed. May have small holes and/or tears in seal. Any damage that is a result of holes and/or tears will be noted. EX+ Cover - This is a gorgeous find. The front cover still has a brilliant gloss. The colors, pictures and/or graphics are bright and crisp. All edges have little or no wear, and no splits. All corners may have some wear. Back cover is generally clear and bright. There may be slight darkening from age around the edges or in spots. All graphics, writing, and pictures are easily viewed. Vinyl - Does not appear to have been played. Has a beautiful luster. Record will play through marvelously with little or no surface noise. No skips. Label - Excellent condition. No visible scuffs or wear. EX Cover - Front cover still has a nice sheen. There may be slight ring wear and/or record impression on front and/or back. Front or back may also have light scuffs or abrasions. There is no graffiti on the front cover. May have minor marks on back cover as long as it doesn't obscure lettering or pictures. Front and back cover may have minor creases of 4" or less. There may also be glue or sticker remnants. Edges may have slight signs of wear, but no splits. Corners may have slight signs of wear. Back cover may have age related darkening or spots and minor stains.

VG+ Cover - Cover may have dulled somewhat. There may be more visible ring wear and/or record impression on the front and back. There may be more prevalent scuffs and/or abrasions. There may be minor graffiti on front or back, but it does not obstruct pictures, graphics or lettering. Edges will have signs of wear, including some cover flaking. Some splits may be present, but none are more than 2" in length. Corners may have more significant signs of wear. Back cover may have age related darkening or spots, and some staining, but does not obstruct writing, pictures of graphics.
