                        DIMITRI TIOMKIN

Label & catalog number : DECCA DL 5489

Country, release year : USA - 1953

Conditions : cover is in great shape, just some slight creasing on a couple of corners, NEAR MINT / vinyl has a cloudy surface on side one in addition to few tiny bubbles from faulty pressing and some scuffs which affect moderately play with a few light clicks, strong VG++  

STRICTLY GRADED

Sleeves and vinyls are visually graded after a careful check in bright sunshine on my roof terrace. In the gray days I watch the records under a strong halogen lamp with the help of a magnifying glass. All LPs in auction have been fully heard on a turntable Rega Planar 3 with a moving magnet cartridge Grado Statement 1. I listen EPs and singles 45  rpm. on a turntable Thorens TD 166 BC with a MM cartridge Goldring 1006. Considering that the usual classifications such as Mint, EX, Vg, etc…, etc. ... are not significant to explain the real condition of the records in addition to a total subjectivity of opinion, I always introduce before these classifications a short description concerning any defects I have verified with the exception of Mint minus, the highest grade I declare. I use MINT/MINT exclusively for the still from factory sealed copies.

Notes : music and orchestra Dimitri Tiomkin, narration by Gary Cooper. Polynesian music and chants with the accompaniment of traditional percussion instruments, airy themes from magic, dreamy, epical atmospheres which become melancholy or even dramatic in the second part of side two. With the magnificent addition of Gary Cooper's voice narrating the film story. 60 years old, so scarce record which, more than else, has to be regarded as a musical and historical evidence to preserve from oblivion especially allowing next generations to be aware of "the way we were". 

Side one

Side two
