Description
Recorded in 1949... what a mega rare R&B 78 from DOLES DICKENS And His Quintet. One of the very 1st records to coin the phrase "Rock And Roll". Recorded on the DECCA record label and the record # is: 48110. The songs are: "Rock And Roll" b/w "Hold Me Baby". This record is in E+ condition... (visually graded). The labels are in very nice condition, with no writing or unusual wear... they looks great. It does have a radio station sticker on the b.) side. Zero spindle wear which leads me to believe that this record was played just a few times if at all. A rare "well cared for" R&B record. I have 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. Grab this one!

It's time to for this old collector to empty the vaults if you will!! I Am Selling Most Of My Sealed and Autographed Albums. Most Are From My Very Own Personal Collection Which I Have Saved and Stored Very Carefully For A Long Time. So Check Back Often As I Will Be Selling Most Of My 70's & 80"s Autographs In The Coming Months. It's All Going!
