The pop group Tight Fit had a number one hit in the UK with the song in 1982. It went on to earn millions in royalties from cover versions and film licensing. In 1961, a version adapted into English with the title "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the doo-wop group the Tokens became a number-one hit in the United States. Artists who have recorded various versions of the song include NSYNC, Henri Salvador, Karl Denver, Jimmy Dorsey, Yma Sumac, Noro Morales, Miriam Makeba, and the Kingston Trio.
It was recorded as " Wimoweh" by the Weavers in November 1951, and published by Folkways Music Publishers in December 1951. The song has been adapted and covered internationally by many pop and folk artists.

Any exceptions I will note in the text above. The vast majority of the records are in great condition and I can see little reason why they wouldn’t play.
I am using a good camera but it is still difficult to show any defects in the vinyl. All of the covers will show greater or lesser signs of wear and age. As well as the general photos, I will try take close up pictures to indicate the "worst" condition on the cover or vinyl. However, I have looked over them thoroughly and any serious defects or damage will be indicated in the photos or description. I do not have, and have not had for many years, any means to play these records to check for any defects, scratches etc.
