Description

Vinyl is G+...it has heavy surface noise throughout.  It plays thru without skipping.  Labels are decent. 

ULTRA RARE COPY IN RED VINYL OF THIS EARLY 1953 R&B TUNE, STRAIGHT OUT OF A HOUSE FROM HERE IN DETROIT.  WHEN I FOUND THIS IT HAD A LOT OF SURFACE DIRT ON IT.  I GAVE IT TWO ULTRASONIC CLEANINGS WITH PLAIN WATER.  YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO CLEAN IT MORE. ONLY A HANDFUL OF THESE EXIST AND THEY ALL CAME OUT OF THE DETROIT AREA. 

Matrix reads A-side, 45 P-53127  298. B-side 45 P-53128 298. Amazing early 1953 R&B, ranks in the top 50 all time rarest records.

"A vocal group called the Pelicans recorded the same day as Joe Williams and Red Saunders. They were the first doowop ensemble to record for Benson since he launched Parrot as an independent operation. The Pelicans were led by Roger Heard and came from Detroit. Of their four sides recorded on September 28, 1953, two found release at the time: "Aurelia" and "White Cliffs of Dover." "Aurelia" is a deep sounding ballad and it got a few plays in Chicago, Detroit, and New York. There was a real person behind the song, Aurelia Brown. Heard was dating her and put his romantic inclinations into the ballad. His efforts bore fruit because they eventually got married.
