Description
Up for sale is a really rare 78 RPM record (SP). It's in quite nice condition. This record doesn't come up very often.
Label: Melodisc 1183 Artist: Lord Beginner (and the Calypso Rhythm Kings) Released in 1954 One side: Pretty Woman (Egbert Moore) Other side: Jamaica Hurricane (Egbert Moore) Supervision on both sides: Denis PrestonLord Beginner (1904 - 1981), was the stage name of Egbert Moore, who was born in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. He became a popular early Calypsonian and was sent to New York in 1934 to record on the Port-of-Spain label. He emigrated to England in 1948 and became very popular with the rapidly increasing West Indian population. He is perhaps best remembered for the song "Victory Test March", which he composed to commemorate the 1950 victory of the West Indies cricket team over England.
Denis Preston (1916 - 1979) was a major British record producer and music critic. He was not associated with any single label. He has been called "Europe's first independent record producer". He had a solid reputation in a variety of styles, including various forms of jazz.
