Jamaica Farewell/ Once Was

Here's a beautiful copy of one of my favorite recordings in any genre. Interestingly, this original pressing has a slightly different version of the song than I'm used to, which probably comes from a Belafonte hits collection. Note: This 45 record comes in a vintage RCA Victor Records factory sleeve. Unfortunately, although the record looks almost new, with Near Mint labels and vinyl, the audio has some surface noise that's modestly distracting. Part of the noise comes from a tiny scratch I hadn't noticed on the otherwise almost-new-looking vinyl.
