Description
ULTRA RARE AND INTERESTING 78 RPM by DANNY THOMAS!! Danny Thomas founded St. Jude Hospital, and was of Arabic descent himself, so it was natural at some point to record "Arabic Folksongs" and perhaps sell as a fund raiser for the hospital. Wikipedia notes: "In 1952, Thomas recorded an Arabic folk song for the album The Music of Arab-Americans: A Retrospective Collection. From 1952 through 1974, Thomas also recorded a number of vocal albums on his own, as well as participating on other albums."
One side is Part 1, the other Part 2. Light scratches seen amid the generally clean shellac, looks playable and I'll grade VG+. PART 1 RED PEN MARKS ON LABEL SEE PICTURE.
THE PICTURE OF Danny Thomas VG 2 TINY RIPS ON TOP OF PHOTO
THE PHOTO HAS A VERY LIGHT WRITING ON IT THANKING SOMEONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT SIGNED BY Danny Thomas I DONT KNOW IF ITS HAND WRITTEN OR A FACSIMILE SIGNATURE ITS VERY LIGHT AND HARD TO READ
