ALAIN PRESENCER

THE SINGING BOWLS OF TIBET

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL RELEASE FROM ENGLAND, PRESSED AND CUT BY NIMBUS RECORDS FOR SAYDISC.

IT PRESENTS THE WORK OF TIBETOLOGIST AND POET A. P. WHO TRAVELLED IN LADAKH, SIKKIM, NEPAL AND TIBET AND GOT INTRODUCED TO THE BOWLS AND THE MEANING OF THEIR SOUNDS BY THE LOCAL PEOPLE.

THE RECORD PRESENTS 8 WORKS INSPIRED BY THESE TRIPS.

A LARGE NUMBER AND TYPES OF BOWLS AND THE VOICE ARE USED TO RECREATE THE SOUND OF TIBET.

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS REVISED DESCRIPTION OF RECORD CONDITION AFTER PLAYING THE RECORD FROM START TO FINISH:

It starts with a few repetitive light clicks for about 3-4 minutes. At another, under light inspection, it looks to be due to a very light superficial scuff, One which normally doesn't affect the sound quality. But in this instance does.

From there on, the record plays excellent till the end of the side. A kind of 9-9,5 out of 10 I would say.

Side 2 has a few very light clicks at beginning, but not many, and goes to same excellent way to the end. (9-out of 10)

If you can live with the clicks from the first track, you can consider this record, but if you want one perfect, please do not bid, as it is not perfect.
