Rare HILTONAIRES Mento Ska 45 Record STUDIO 1 Label

Rare HILTONAIRES Mento Ska 45 Record STUDIO 1 Label
This is a vintage 45 rpm Jamaican Mento Ska 45 rpm record issued on the Jamaican Studio 1 label and featuring songs by "The Hiltonaires" (misspelled "Hilltonaires" on the label). One side features "Wings Like a Dove" while the other features "Ethiopia". The record is in near mint condition - there is a manufacturing defect visible at the beginning of the band on the Ethiopia side, but this doesn't sound at all. The label is cut off-center on both sides, but this is typical for Jamaican production. I've cleaned the record with the Disc Doctor's Miracle Cleaner and listened to it and it sounds great with excellent depth. Please check my other eBay listings for more Ska records, including Byron Lee and the Dragonaires plays Jamaican Ska, the ultra rare Fly Flying Ska and other singles by Derrick Harriot as well as by Bongo Man with Roland Alfonso. Please click on any photo in order to enlarge…no reserve…
