Description
What a rare FALCONS 78. On the hard to find REGENT Record label. The record # is: 1041 and features the song "How Blind Can You Be" on Side a.) and on Side b.) is: "I Can't Tell You Now". The record is in very nice condition. I would grade this at E- to E Condition (visually & play graded). The record has been played carefully. The labels are in extremely nice condition, with no label wear and a store sticker from Woolworth's on one side. There are no edge chips. All in all... a really nice record. This is a rare one! I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.
The Falcons - In July of 1951 Herman Lubinsky of Savoy Records signed a Baltimore based vocal group known as The Falcons to his label. Vernon Palmer is the lead singer for the group and another member is female singer Goldie Boots. By October however, the group recorded for the Regent Records label with the songs "How Blind Can You Be?" and "I Can't Tell You Now" which were released on #1041. In a case of deja vu all over again, Lubinsky in May of 1953 announces the signing of a new vocal group The Falcons! In May "You're The Beating Of My Heart" and "It's You I Miss" are releases on Savoy #893.
What A Great Addition To Any Serious Doo-Wop 78 Collection.
