Description

Little Bitty Pretty One/Hope You Won't Hold It Against Me - Thurston Harris- DOWN BEAT  (Orig Jamaican) (78rpm )(215/214  Alladin 3398)

Beautiful original 1957/8 'Down-Beat' Jamaican 78" featuring U.S RnB artist Thurston Harris' 'one hit wonder'.

Rare Original Jamaican pressed 78rpm shellac disc in VG to 'Pretty One' and VG- condition to flip side. Please note i have played both sides through completely and neither side jumps or sticks at all.
Label are Ex to both sides (please see scans).
This rare 78 is from an original 1950's Jamaican Sound-System collection.
It is housed in an original, bit tatty, brown paper sleeve.

Please see below for my full grading system.
GRADING:
MINT = unplayed ex-shop stock.
EX = almost mint except for possible light usage,or marking on label.No marks on vinyl.
VG = minimal marks,no reduction in sound quality at all.
VG- =very clean sound quality,but marks to vinyl and possible light scratches.(this is by far the most common condition of my records and proves wholly satisfactory to customers).
G+/VG- = more than acceptable playing condition,label likely to be worn or marked.
G+ = noisy-but music still appreciable.
G/G- = rough condition,noisy,could be scratched or have hiss but of great interest for historical content.

OTHER ABBREVIATIONS USED;
BLANK = original first pressing of tune given to sound system operators to play before the record was given a label and made available in the shops for the general public.
LD = label damage.
CD = Cover Damage(applicable to LP’s).

Please note: most records i sell are ex sound system copies and often have sound man markings on the labels.
