This is an LP on the Shoe Records label entitled Pick Your Choice with George "Harmonica" Smith. The LP was produced by George Smith & Bernie Pearl, recorded at McCoy Studio, Los Angeles. Three tracks by George Smith (Stockholm Swing, Misty, Bad Luck at My Door) and one each by Long Gone Miles (Trouble, Trouble), William Clarke and The Nightowls (52 Cards in a Deck), one-man band Blind Joe Hill (Don't Be Nobody's Fool), Doug McCloud [sic: Macleod] (Think I'll Go Out Drinkin'), and Evans Walker (Baby Please). Sidemen include Lloyd Glenn, Dennis Walker, Bernie Pearl, and J.D. Nicholson. The LP record shows full gloss, with a occasional light scuffs. It plains fairly cleanly, with occasional light ticks. The LP jacket is a white generic cardboard LP jacket, with a pasted image of the original photo. This album did not come with liner notes. The paste on cover was recently added to the white cardboard plain LP jacket. The image was taken from a photo of the original image, that was posted on the Internet. It is estimated that only 300 to 500 of these LP's were pressed. Some have sold in the five hundred dollar range according to popsike.

There is a complete audio stream of at least one side of each record on the listing page. Occasionally the audio stream "times out" overseas, limiting the sound, to a brief "clip". If this happens, please email or message me, and I will try to make a correction. Here is my grading system:

NM- = record appears mostly new and uplayed

VG++ = record looks great, may be a few light paper scuffs, plays like new.

VG+ = fairly nice copy, may be a few light marks, occasional tick or pop, but mostly clean sound.

VG = wear, scuffing, light scratches, ticks and pops, but a very playable copy.

VG- many scuffs or groove wear, plays with some noise, but still listenable.

G+ = a playable copy but very very worn, plays with lots of noise

G through G- = wall hanger
