'STORMY WEATHER' by The 5 sharps

In the 70s one copy of several 78RPM tests that had been pressed earlier that day and made it out of the plant was located. It was dubbed directly from the record and a new 45RPM master was produced. It is available on COLLECTABLES RECORDS. The sound quality isn't great and it sounds like it's off-speed, but it's such a valuable find that imperfections in audio can easily overlooked. 72.66.33.74 (talk) 14:07, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
