Description
Lovely copy of Glenn Miller's very first album ever, the 1944 78-rpm set on RCA album P-148, simply called An Album of Outstanding Arrangements on Victor Records, one of the series called Victor Music Smart Sets. Includes four 78 records featuring his most famous recordings, including the ever-favorite, In the Mood. The discs are all in very nice condition with just some minor surface marks, but they play almost flawlessly with just a touch of background noise sometimes. Really they are all just great playing copies. The cover is in very good condition, with some edgewear and cornerwear, and some fraying on the spine, which is ripping in a couple of spots but is still perfectly readable (see photos). The record pockets are all fine, with a small split at the bottom of the first one, and the binding is strong. There is some general wear but all in all it is remarkably well preserved, with striking artwork, the rare mostly-intact spine and good binding. This is a beautiful original copy, very rare to find complete and in such condition. The discs include:
Side 1 - American Patrol
Side 2 - Song of the Volga Boatmen
Side 3 - Tuxedo Junction
Side 4 - In the Mood
Side 5 - Little Brown Jug
Side 6 - Moonlight Serenade
Side 7 - Star Dust
Side 8 - Pennsylvania Six-Five Thousand
All are the original recordings, pressed with original masters and the best possible sound for any pressing that has ever been made. This is by far the best way to hear these wonderful recordings. And a truly lovely original copy. Hard to beat.
