Description
This record is part of a collection I bought several years ago that had belonged to "Walkin' Talkin' Bill Hawkins" who was the first black disk jockey in the Cleveland Ohio area, in the early 50s. In fact he may have been one of the first in the U S.that played R & B records. He owned a record store on east 105th street and would broadcast from the store window, From what I'm told crowds of people would gather outside to watch him while he was on the air.
The SHA-WEEZ, Aladdin 78 # 3170
Label advises, ADVANCED COPY for DISK JOCKEY USE ONLY Not To Be Sold
The tunes are "NO ONE TO LOVE ME" / "EARLY SUNDAY MORNING"
This is a Disk Jockey or Advanced Sample Record that would have been sent to a DJ in advance of it's release.
Record and label look and play like NEW, NO SURFACE NOISE Grade N-

I don't believe it had ever been played before I played it !
If you collect R & B or Blues 78s you will NEVER see one this nice again.
