Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ORIGINAL 1966 FIRST PRESS
MONTAGE
\ USA - LAURIE RECORDS - SLP 2049
Highly rated LP ....Original first pressing as contains Mike Brown--the intensely talented songwriter for the Left Banke who penned most of their songs--and yes, he DID have a post-Left Banke career.
Montage was the ONLY album issued by the New Jersey group, who wisely decided to partner with the otherwise-not-actually-in-the-group Mike Brown and cohorts for songs and production; although Brown writes most of the songs, plays keyboards, and does a whole host of other things, he was apparently not technically in the band. Odd. Yet he and his other Left Banke cohorts ( Left Banke Tom Feher cowrites some of the material) obviously hadn't lost any of their talent, and some fans advise that Montage blows even the Left Banke's heralded debut out of the water. The songs are *that good*. The performances are understated and emphasize "feel" more than rocking out. That's *just the way these songs should be*. Both of Montage's singers have wonderful, expressive, yet vulnerable voices. Exactly suited to the material.
It's really that good, folks. Highlights include The Grand Pianist. an earthier take on the Banke's Desiree, the stunning opener I Shall Call Her Mary...and, well, there's not a bad track on either side...If you're a fan of the Banke, Zombies, the Beach Boys in their "Today!/Pet Sounds" mode, or 60s music in general, you are almost guarenteed to love this.
