MILES DAVIS

Lift To The Scaffold (Ascenseur pour L'echafaud)

SEALED limited edition 180 gram Vinyl LP. Speakers Corner/Fontana 0660213. COVER & VINYL: MINT still sealed, never played.

The filming is long since over. Five men with instruments in their hands look past noisy projectors towards the screen. The loudspeakers in the studio remain silent - and yet music is still to be heard. And... cut! No, this is neither a surrealistic enigma nor a scene from a post-modern play, but the conditions under which the sound-recordings took place for Louis Malle's film classic Ascenseur pour L'echafaud. Amazingly enough, Miles Davis and his combo improvised the music for the soundtrack while actually watching the film sequences. The various takes from these highly unusual recording sessions were then cut and polished with echo effects to produce the short film soundtrack as we know it. Now the complete, original recordings, parts of which have never been released before, are available for the very first time on LP - pure and unfiltered!

It is tempting to spend an evening comparing the "raw material" with the "final product." Is not the original version "earthier?" Is not the nocturnal atmosphere of the "Champs Elysee" in the studio sad and gloomy enough? It's all a question of taste. But one thing is certain: it's quite ingenious!

GRADING. Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible.

DISCLAIMER. Due to the number of frivolous returns which were unwarranted, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied, there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item.  If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.  ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***
