The legendary New Orleans composer, arranger, band leader and pianist Allen Toussaint played on pretty much every single memorable song to come out of Big Easy since late 1950’s. There is barely a song associated with New Orleans that this great producer and arranger did not tackle. From Meters to Dr.John, from Irma Thomas to Lee Dorsey, from Neville Brothers to Fats Domino and on to late, great ‘Fessa Longhair, Allen Toussaint has seen ‘em - and played with them - all. This fantastic  first album from 1958 demonstrates the power and majesty of Toussaint’s piano playing. Toussaint’s piano phrasing and syncopation are truly one in a million. He is not only a maestro of songwriting and arranging, he is truly an American original. This album will demonstrate the exquisite gumbo-like mixture of musical tastes and influences: Caribbean, African, Cuban, Kreyol, Rhumba and Funk, all of which find a little place in the sun under New Orleans’ tolerant and easy going skies. In addition, if you have never been aware of the influence of Ragtime in the evolution of American music, this album should give you a definite and very authoritative idea. The album is a proverbial chockfull of goodies. Probably the best known song on the album is Toussaint’s "Java" , later immortalized by Al Hirt. Allen Toussaint later went on to produce - and play with - the likes of Esther Phillips, Little Feat and many other, but he never really regained this brief moment of explosive creative energy he demonstrated on this album. The songs are: Whirlaway - Up the Creek - Tim Tam - Me and You - Bono - Java - Happy Times - Wham Toussan - Nowhere to go - Nashua - Po’ Boy walk - Pelican Parade

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG+. A few light abrasions  ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a partially split top seam (between 1 and 2 inches  / 2.5 to 5 centimeters); This split seam was delicately taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent scotch tape  (NOTE: a tiny piece of cardboard is missing on top seam; about 1/4 square inch in size)

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2  (front side) and 4 (back side)

-         The cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-         Back cover has a small peel-off mark, probably from the careless removal of the price sticker  (less than 3/4 square inch in size).

-         Back cover has some light yellowish stains, probably from exposure to humidity (less than 6 square inches in size)

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging   (nothing significant).

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-         Cover has two corners slightly dinged (BARELY VISIBLE)

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No writing

-        No stamps

-        No mold or mildew spots

-        No stickers or labels

-        No water damage

-        No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts.

-        No warping

-        No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-        No glue traces or wax residue.

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
