EGYPT A HOLIDAY SOUVENIR Lp by SALAH RAGAB / EL RAYES ABAS / SAID DARWISH / MOHAMED ABDEL WAHAH / ALI ISMAIL. Original Greek pressing on the red EMI ODEON / SONO CAIRO label (2J 064 96911), from 1975. Cult and desirable Lp featuring an amazing funk / exotic jazz instrumental by Egyptian drummer and Sun Ra collaborator, Salah Ragab. His fabulous AMBER OF THE NILE theme is like a twisted Egyptian take on Watermelon Man done in a funky Mulatu Of Ethiopia - Afro Latin Soul style :) Snappy B-boy drum patterns / fender bassline / clipped guitars / percussion / Eastern scaled piano hooks / blasting brass and infectious snake charmer horns. This theme is actually an alternative "funky" version of his EGYPT STRUT theme, superior to the version on The Sun Ra Arkestra Meets Salah Ragab In Egypt Lp and Jazzman 45 repress. Great for DJs. Our soundclip also incudes the screaming Dervish horns of HANTOUR OF LUXOR by Ali Ismail / DANCE OF THE ARAB STALLION by EL Rayes Abas / the groovy ARABESQUE and FOLKLORE instrumental by Said Darwish and the cool crooner male vocals / '50s style Cairo nightclub cum jukebox jam rhythms and atmosphere of TAKE ME BACK TO CAIRO by Karim Shukry Andrea Rayder. Beautiful, laminated gatefold sleeve with images of the Sphinx / the Pyramid at Giza / the tomb of Tutankhamen / Amon Ra and Fijala temple etc. Vinyl pressed in Greece (like other key Egyptian records of the period). Very rare Lp!!!

Our record grading: SEALED / M- / VG++ / VG+ / VG 

Vinyl is closer to shiny M- condition overall with a few hairlines from sleeve removal. Some faint, old pressing residue marks. Some light surface noises. A few soft pops and ticks (as you can hear on the soundclip). The laminated, gatefold sleeve is closer to M- condition overall with minimal wear from storage. Some ring wear (to back sleeve) and a few mall laminate crease lines. Some natural rubs and scuffs. Sharp corners and edges. Camera flash glare to sleeve and label photo. Very rare Lp!!!
