Description
Hello and welcome. Beginning in the 1960s, I made it my goal to collect every 5-star record still available, and I continued my search for 40 years. While not all the records I list for sale reached that lofty goal, they do represent an undying search for the unique and wonderful in the world of sound. I'm happy to be able to offer them to you now. Here is what you're bidding on:
TITLE: "Ritual of the Savage (Le Sacre Du Sauvage)" ARTIST: Les Baxter and His Orchestra LABEL: Capitol Records T-288 MONO First Pressing
CONDITION:
JACKET - VG+(Jacket has moderate overall rub/edge/corner wear, with partial split to top seam and small splits to others - Please see actual album photos) VINYL - VG+(Vinyl has scuffs and marks; Side 1 label has two stickers attached; vinyl is Capitol's deep groove first pressing - Graded using special daylight balanced spotlight)
SPECIAL FEATURES: Beautiful and rare, this Les Baxter "Ritual of the Savage" album personifies the best in early-exotica percussion based music, both in playing and in variety of tunes (these songs have a definite "jungle" theme). Made in '55, this is a classic Capitol clear deep-groove MONO first pressing recording, filled with surprise and excitement for the listener. SPECIAL NOTE: Each track is given its own background description on the back cover.
TRACKS: Please refer to the back cover and other informational sites for the complete track listing. Thanks so much.
OUR GRADING SYSTEM: We grade visually, and we are happy to listen to any LP and give you an aural grade as well. SS (Still Sealed as from the factory); NM (Near Mint - our highest grade; the vinyl has only a very few light marks that do not affect play); VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus - a few more light marks than Near Mint; still a great record that plays near perfectly); VG+ (Very Good Plus - an enjoyable, played and loved, obviously used but still listenable record, usually with some light pops, but free of major audible distraction; jacket may be lightly worn, slightly dinged, even very lightly split, but NEVER trashed); VG (Very Good) and below - we usually do NOT sell these, but if we have some good reason to offer such a record, we will explain completely).
