MIA Transparencias LP rare Argentine prog w/Lito Vitale

Transparencias was the discographical beginning of MIA (Músicos Independientes Asociados), a Argentinean prog group with classical influences that would record three outstanding studio albums and a triple LP live set.  Transparencias features two keyboardists, including Lito Vitale, who apparently was only 12 or 13 years old at the time!  Lito’s sister Liliana is also here (vocals, flute, percussion).  The title track takes up all of side two.  Released in Argentina on Ciclo 3 in 1976, but the cover of this one is a later pressing, as it is of normal thickness and doesn’t have the curved corners on the left side.  The record, however, appears to be from the original press, as even the information in the lead-out grooves (the “dead wax”) is identical to the other copy I have listed.  The cover is in Ex+++ and the record is in Ex+ condition.  (Click on the “me” icon above for info on my grading system.)  For the other three releases by MIA plus the killer debut solo release by Lito Vitale (Sobre Miedos, Creencias y Supersticiones), see my other auctions.

Up for auction this week is part of a very special collection—including lots of rarities—compiled over many years.  I will be listing many more items from this huge collection in the coming months.  This week I am mainly listing progressive rock, art rock, and related albums.   This includes symphonic prog, classical rock, neo, RIO, Zeuhl, Canterbury, fusion, progressive folk, progressive electronic etc.  To see more rare and collectable items, click on the “View seller’s other items” button above. 

Payment and Shipping Information

Winner pays postage (in the U.S., this would be about $4.58 for one LP sent by Media Mail).  Package insured upon request.  Winners outside of the U.S. will be notified of postal fees, but an approximate cost for one LP to many countries is $15.60 by airmail (but Canada and Mexico will be less than this for most single LP packages).  If you bid on and win more than one item, you WILL save on postage!  Note: I do not gouge on postage and packaging costs.  Record will be carefully packaged in a strong, oversized LP mailer.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  E-mail: david.o@jjldj.com.  International Customers: please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side.  Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due.  I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end.
