Please note that this is a 78 RPM SP record, so it can only be played on an old phonograph or a record turntable that supports 78 RPM. Catalog number A-5219. Not a sample record. Includes lyric sheet. Original company sleeve is missing, so it is stored in a sturdy 10-inch record jacket. This is the first original pressing 78 RPM SP record of "Banana Boat," the debut single and representative song released by Michiko Hamamura in 1957. Side A: Banana Boat (Atarwe) - Lyrics translated by Seiichi Ida, Lyrics by Belafonte, Music by, Arrangement by Tadashi Ta. Side B: Koi no Venezuela - Lyrics by Seiichi Ida, Music by Tadashi Ta. A total of 2 songs are recorded. The lyric sheet has some paper yellowing and stains due to age, but overall it is in good condition for its age, with a solid feel. The condition of the record is good, with no edge chips, cracks, or noticeable scratches on either side A or B. There may be some minor imperfections that do not interfere with playback, but there are some areas with the characteristic noise of SP records. However, it is in good condition for its age, with a solid feel, and should be fine for normal listening. This is a personal assessment and should be used as a reference only. The visual condition of the record is estimated to be EX, and the playback condition is estimated to be EX- to EX. There is some warping of the record due to age, but it is minor and does not affect playback. Considering it is nearly 70 years old, it is in good condition. However, due to the reasons mentioned above, it is not recommended for those who are concerned about the condition. My record playback environment is a Technics SL-1200G with a SHURE M44G cartridge and a tracking force of 1.5g. I have not listened through headphones. This SP record has been cleaned and playback tested by me. I have not tested playback on a phonograph. I am a non-smoker and do not own pets. Please understand that condition descriptions can vary based on individual perception and subjective feelings. If you have any concerns about the condition, no matter how minor, please feel free to ask.
