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.
LITTLE WALTER and his JUKES on CHECKER Records # 805
The tunes are "MELLOW DOWN EASY" / "LAST NIGHT"
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 M-
There are a few VERY MINOR MARKS that can not be felt or heard
I don't believe it had ever been played before I played it.
If you collect R & B or Blues 78s you are not likely to see one this nice again.
I will refund purchase plus shipping If buyer is unhappy for any reason.
Check my feedback.
Shipping is $8.50 in the U S
