  Lita Roza – Drinka Lita Roza Day Lita Roza at the Prospect of Whitby Lita Roza (14 March 1926 - 14 August 2008) was a British singer whose 1953 hit record "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" made her the first British solo singer to top the UK Singles Chart. When she was 16 she got a job as a singer in the "New Yorker" club in Southport for £5 a week before then shortly afterwards signing up with the Harry Roy Orchestra in London. She moved on from this to work with other bands of the era including that of Edmundo Ros. By the time she was 18, she had retired from show business, married an American and moved to Miami, Florida. However, the marriage did not last and shortly after World War II she returned to the United Kingdom. In 1950, she became the lead female singer with the Ted Heath Band and by 1954 had achieved enough public acclaim to leave the band and pursue a solo recording career.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Payment strictly by PayPal only. Postal discounts available for multiple purchases - Please email for details.  335 (GS 5.5 (335))
