GRANVILLE WILLIAMS ORCHESTRA
Hi-Life
ISLAND ILP971
1967
Mono
33RPM VINYL LP
From OldSkabook.com “In late 1964 Granville teamed up with Ernest Ranglin to “produce a band whose brassy big-band sound is tempered with imaginative arrangements and some first class solo work,” according to the Star Newspaper, November 19, 1964. They made their debut on October 30, 1964 at the St. Andrew Club and it was a big success. Granville’s brother, Audley Williams, performed on bass guitar, recruited from his position with the Carlos Malcolm Orchestra along with drummer Freddie Campbell. Granville brought Sammy Ismay to play tenor guitar [sic. should be tenor saxophone,.] from Byron Lee & the Dragonaires, as well as Roland Alphonso from the Skatalites. Vocalist Lloyd Williams came from his own small combo.“

ABOUT THIS RECORD
This record comes from the collection of the late Michael de Koningh - reggae historian, regular contributor to Record Collector magazine, and co-author of “Young, Gifted and Black - The Story of Trojan Records” and “Tighten Up - The History of Reggae in the UK”.
GRADING
I grade visually and listen to samples of the record through headphones. Because I grade under a daylight lamp and through headphones, I will describe light marks or crackles that may not be particularly noticeable through speakers. My gradings are from M-Mint to G-Good and I rarely grade Mint, unless the item is still sealed.
PACKING and POSTAGE
I aim to send this to you within 3 days of payment. Sometimes circumstances prevent this, but I will try to let you know.
I use 2nd Class Signed For or International Tracked and Signed.
I use professional packaging and board stiffeners for protection.
RETURNS
Please do read the full description, including grading notes. If I have missed anything or not accurately described an item, please do get in touch with me to discuss a reasonable solution
