DISK: From a collector's vault, a rare record recorded by the Robbins in 1953. Only the 45rpm is listed on Discogs for sale, but this is the 78. There might have been some light surface noise on this if the Robbins didn't fill the the grooves with music. A little hiss in the run in, then its music. It's very clear sounding. Not shellac. Little scratches and scuffs.
From Discogs:
The Robins
Profile: This Los Angeles vocal group were the forerunners of the Coasters. They began as the Four Bluebirds in 1947, then became the Robins. Ty Terrell, Billy Richards, Roy Richards, and Bobby Nunn were the original members, with Carl Gardner and Grady Chapman adding in 1954. In 1957, Gardner and Nunn departed to form the Coasters. The Robins had two R&B Top Ten hits. "If It's So Baby" was done with the Johnny Otis Band in 1950 for Savoy, while their best-known number, "Smokey Joe's Cafe", was recorded for the LA based SPARK label, as shown here in 1955.Very extensive history of group at: http://www.uncamarvy.com/Robins/robins.html This song and date is mentioned in the text: From RCA, the quintet headed back to the Bihari Brothers, recording another six songs for Modern's Crown subsidiary in December of 1953: "Sacroiliac Swing," "The World Is Changing," "Double Crossing Baby" (led by Grady), "I Made A Vow" (Grady), "All I Do Is Rock" (Bobby), and "Key To My Heart" (Grady). Maxwell Davis led the band and served as A&R man.

My Qualifications: My representation of records is based on my reasonable, careful but amateur examination without magnification or expert knowledge. I tell what I have found by my research. So be forewarned that the record may not be exactly what I think it is or absolutely perfect in every way under expert magnified visual groove inspection or expert audiophile listening scrutiny on a high-buck amp and turntable. I am just an intelligent and cautious guy reasoning out the clues and liquidating records as honestly as I can. Please understand, unless I say otherwise, that the records I am selling were not collected by me so I do not know their history. I am no kind of expert in music or records. I research each item on Discogs and, for 45s, Fosman's Dead Wax book, 45cat, and other sites for all the information in the post. If I have information from Discogs, Fosman or another seller's post that a record is a reissue, I indicate that. I listen to all 45rpm and 78rpm records and parts of any 33rpm that looks potentially damaged. I use an Ion turntable connected to my computer for 33 and 45. I judge them according to Discogs standards and give the reasons for my rating so buyers can second guess me. My quality ratings are not certified in any way. If the difference between an original edition and a reissue is indicated by a tiny detail not shown on Discogs, Fosman or by another seller, I may not discover that. Any record collector or dealer will tell you that published comments about record authentication are sometimes wrong, even in reference books. I sell in the belief that collectors of vintage records are more knowledgeable than me about what they collect and know what they are looking at. I am glad to answer any questions that could determine the authenticity of a version. Because collectors may know the true value of a record, while I do not, I start at a very reasonable price and let bidders set the true value, which is often much higher than I thought or much lower. If an item gets no bids after a while I discard it even though I originally thought it was worth something.
