Description
ART FARMER AND CLIFFORD BROWN WITH THE SWEDISH ALL STARS, AN ORIGINAL PRESTIGE 10" LP PRESSING (PRESTIGE LP 167), RECORDED UNDER THE MUSICAL DIRECTION OF QUINCY JONES WHILE THE BOYS WERE IN SWEDEN ON TOUR WITH LIONEL HAMPTON IN 1953. ALSO FEATURING SWEDISH MUSICIANS BENGT HALLBERG, AKE PERSON, LARS GULLIN AND ARNE DOMNERUS, THE TRACKS INCLUDE "ALLING IN LOVE WITH LOVE," "LOVER COME BACK TO ME, " "'SCUSE THESE BLOOS," AND "STOCKHOLM SWEETNIN.'" WITH NOTES BY IRA GITLER, THE BACK COVER APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN AN ECONOMICAL USE OF PRINTING COSTS, SINCE PRESTIGE USED THE COVER NOTES FROM FARMER'S LAST PRESTIGE 10" LP, PRESTIGE LP 193 AND PLACED A SMALL PAPER STICKER OVER THE "193". IT WAS USED FOR THIS LATER PRESSING OF SWEDISH ALL STARS SINCE THE NOTES INCLUDE DETAILS FOR ALL OF HIS 10" LP'S INCLUDING THE LP HEREIN, AND ONLY ART FARMER'S NAME AND BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION IS OFFERED. THIS PROBABLY ALSO EXPLAINS WHY ONLY ART FARMER IS FEATURED ON THE FRONT COVER, WHILE EARLIER ISSUES OF THIS LP FEATURED ART WORK BY DAVID YOUNG RATHER THAN A PHOTO. ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A LATER PRESSING, IT IS STILL QUITE RARE AND VERY ORIGINAL, AS WELL AS AUTOGRAPHED BY FARMER ON HIS ARM. ALAS, WATER DAMAGE HAS CAUSED CONSIDERABLE FLAKING TO THE COVER ALONG THE BOTTOM OF BOTH SIDES RENDERING IT TO A MERE G CONDITION, WHILE THE VINYL IS A SOLID VG+.
