VANDERGRIFT BROTHERS - KING

I thought it would be nice to have all the Vandergrift Brothers KING recordings in one place, so here are the two known releases on the label. Billboard reported, 30th March 1963, that the Brothers were recording for KING, which I assume refers to the release shown below (KING 5533).

  4. I came across an old 78 on Bella of Shorty Joe at a thrift shop - it is badly scratched and worn - but the record is in tact with the label - if you would like it let me know and I well send it to you.

    I sell on ebay under the name Rain_bow_rider - so you can get my information off of my profile. I am in the San Francisco Bay area - would like to save this from the landfill.

    gerry
