Description
EUROJAZZ AT ITS BEST! ULTRA RARE FRENCH ALBUM RECORDED AND ISSUED IN PARIS LATE FIFTIES/EARLY SIXTIES BY "LES INDUSTRIES MUSICALES ET ELECTRIQUES PATHE MARCONI - PARIS". THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING. I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER VERSIONS EXIST.
COLUMBIA FPX 193
THE PERSONNEL: GEORGES ARVANITAS AT THE PIANO; FRANCOIS JEANNEAU TENOR SAX., BERNARD VITET BUGLE, MICHEL GAUDRY BASS, DANIEL HUMAIR DRUMS, PLAYING THE MODERN REPERTOIRE, COMPOSITIONS OF MONK, POWELL, ROACH ETC.
MY GRADING IS VISUAL ONLY, NO PLAYGRADING, UNLESS MENTIONED.
VINYL GRADING SCALE: M:PERFECT, NM:NEAR PERFECT, E:NO WEAR, SHINY SURFACE, BUT SOME MINOR BLEMISHES (SLEEVE MARKS OR NEEDLE DROPS OR A SMALL NEGLIGEABLE SCRATCH), VG:VISIBLE WEAR AND SOME DAMAGE, BUT STILL VERY COLLECTIONABLE. I DON'T SELL G(ood) AND P(oor) MATERIAL. + or - to indicate variations on the above. Bidders should be aware that some records issued in the fifties, even if Mint, are not Hi Fi. Sometimes the vinyl or the pressings are low quality, with inevitable background noise. IMHO the absolute quality standard as set by Contemporary Records is seldom, if ever, met by other labels.
VINYL: MINT (I RARELY GIVE A MINT GRADING, BUT THAT IS JUST WHAT IT IS; MINT!)
COVER: NM. BEAUTIFUL LAMINATED FRONT. THE IMMACULATE BACK HAS SOME TRACES OF RING WEAR. NO WRITING, NO SEAM SPLITS. SEAMS ARE FIRM. IN SHORT A PRISTINE COVER JUST OUT OF A LONG HIBERNATION OF NEARLY 50 YEARS.
LABELS: CLEAN, NO SPINDLE MARKS
