Description
King Sparrow
"Carnival" b/w "Family Size Coke"
45 rpm calypso single
VERY RARE calypso single by King (aka Mighty) Sparrow. This has to be one of his rarest 45's, based on the fact that I can not find any info about it anywhere on the internet. There are many web sites out there with info on Sparrow - including discographies - but I did not find any info on this particular record. I am guessing this is from either the late 1950's or early 1960's. It was pressed in Jamaica. I bought it at a flea market. Anyone out there with further info about this record, please send me a message. Thanks.
Label: Kalypso (Jamaica)
Catalog # FX 1

Grading Scale:
Mint (M) - A perfect 10. No visible or audible defects.
Near Mint (NM) - 9 to 10. Excellent; very little if any wear.
Very Good++ (VG++) - 8 to 9. Has very minor wear. Will still look and sound excellent.
Very Good+ (VG+) - 7 to 8. Has minor wear. Still looks nice - still sounds nice - might have light surface noise in some places.
Very Good (VG) - 6 to 7. Has moderate wear. Scuffs/scratches are more noticeable. Music still sounds fine, but you will also hear background surface noise in places.
Very Good- (VG-) - 5 to 6. Moderate to heavier wear. Surface noise throughout, but should not drown out music. Probably not for serious audiophiles. More casual listeners might still enjoy, despite the flaws.
Good (G) - 4 to 5. Heavy wear. The vinyl and/or cover will have many scuffs, scratches and/or other defects. Audiophiles should definitely avoid.
