Description
ULTRA RARE AND INTERESTING 78 RPM by DANNY THOMAS!! Danny Thomas founded St. Jude Hospital, and was of Arabic descent himself, so it was natural at some point to record "Arabic Folksongs" and perhaps sell as a fund raiser for the hospital. Wikipedia notes: "In 1952, Thomas recorded an Arabic folk song for the album The Music of Arab-Americans: A Retrospective Collection. From 1952 through 1974, Thomas also recorded a number of vocal albums on his own, as well as participating on other albums."
One side is Part 1, the other Part 2. Light scratches seen amid the generally clean shellac, looks playable and I'll grade VG+. Side 1 (with Part 1) has some residue from something which may have been glued onto the label - seen in the listing photo to the left of the words "Part 1".
