255

Capri 7201 by the Spartans backed by band leader and guitarist Banjo Bill Reese and His Rhythm Kings: Faith Hope and Charity b/w Lost. One of the rarest Cleveland doowop/group harmony records, both as a 45 and 78. One of the most beautiful ballads recorded by a Cleveland group, and the only record they ever made. The group is backed by just a piano on Lost,  a fabulous, dreamy group harmony ballad, with a romantic, pleading lead singer, lots of floating tenor harmonies, and a strong bass weaving in and out. With full band backing the flip, Faith, Hope and Charity, really jumps strong with screams and handclaps, lots of rhythmic tenor harmony, and a bluesy guitar break from band leader Bill Reese. Although they gigged around Cleveland quite a bit in their day, popular enough to draw a good crowd in nightclubs, this is the only recording they left behind.  See above condition section and pics for condition. Grade VG++.
