Description
1971 UK compilation - Originally released in the US in 1969 as "Django Reinhardt" on the Archive Of Folk Music label.
This is a lovely collection of mainly original Django tunes which has been processed in "Stereo Enhanced Mono" to give a twin-channel stereo effect - bearing in mind all these tunes were originally recorded in the 1940's, sometimes in fairly primitive environments.
The cover is in very nice condition with only a little laminate lift to top left corner of front & a light crease across the back bottom left corner but the colour of the sleeve makes this barely visible.
Disc is nice and shiny with just a few wispy hairlines to be seen under bright light - plays great throughout with only a little background crackle here & there (and most of that is probably due to the original tapes).
A really nice album with some nifty guitar work.
Will combine postage for multiple purchases, as a general rule I can get 3 single-sleeve albums in one mailer, obviously gatefold sleeves & double-albums will count as two items. If you have any problems with postage discounts at checkout please contact me before purchasing.
