This is a previously unreleased 10" Acetate 78 


Tony and The Vassels 


Cape Canaveral b/w The Battle


Richcraft Recording Company


Two instrumental sides. One side is a version of Glory Glory Hallelujah, or I've Been Working On A Railroad, but given a different title in pencil on the label.

These sides seem to have elements of surf, early jump r&b along with a very early Coxsone Dodd / Studio one Jamaican flavor.


Probably a one of a kind item, and possibly the only copy in existence.


The record is in G condition. It looks very rough, plays noisy, has a few small chips in the grooves, and plays with ticks over those few spots, but don't skip.
