Description
Here is the EUTERPE PORTO RICAN ORCHESTRA, a large, estimable group from the maybe-someday-it'll-be-a-United-State Caribbean island.
This orchestra is a fascinating combination of strict musicianship and ethnic looseness. They play JUST out of tune enough so you know you're not listening to jaded New York studio players, but with the skill and precision that made Puerto Rico a by-word amongst U. S. band and orchestra leaders.
"ALMA SUBLIME" and "AGUINALDOS POPULARES" are two immensely charming numbers.
"Euterpe," by the way, was the name of the Greek Goddess of Music!
This original 1928 Green Label Columbia 2759-X is in clean E- condition. Some scratches and little digs.
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
