Description
The Smiley Brothers, Do the "Brush" b/w St. Rose of Lima Children's Choir, Club Marching Song, on Doctor Shiny-Teeth 625. Ultra-rare early '60s group harmony apparently out of the Philadelphia area. Seems to have been put together by a local dental-health group of some sort, but all the white kids on the picture sleeve notwithstanding, this is a good quality black group record (on the A-side, at least. The B-side is best left unplayed). Record is very nice VG+ and plays great, though it's a cheap pressing and the vinyl is a little cloudy. Rare cardboard sleeve is very nice front and back, with a little creasing at the upper right and seam splits--2" and 3"--at either side of the opening for the record (which is at the top). A legitimate rarity, and a surprisingly good record given the package.
Grading
MINT- Perfect or virtually perfect.
VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record
VG Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise
VG- Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay
G Rough record
