JON HASSELL/ ENO: Fourth World Vol. 1 - Possible Musics
ONCE/TWICE PLAYED - BEAUTIFUL MINT- AUDIO - GORGEOUS LP
JON HASSELL / BRIAN ENO
Fourth World Vol. 1 - Possible Musics
ORIGINAL UK EG (EGED 7) FIRST PRESSING (1980) OF JON HASSELL / BRIAN ENO'S BEAUTIFUL "Fourth World Vol. 1 - Possible Musics" LP - IN ONCE / TWICE PLAYED CONDITION, DELIVERING EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AUDIO THROUGHOUT - SUPERB COPY OF A GORGEOUS LP AND VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED INDEED
Largely thought of merely as a mostly stillborn offshoot of Brian Eno's larger ambient music series, the Fourth World series of albums, in collaboration with trumpeter Jon Hassell, is actually an entirely separate beast.
Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics starts off from the same basic idea as Hassell's previous solo albums, like Earthquake Island and Vernal Equinox: a blend of avant-garde composition, jazz soloing, and African and Middle Eastern rhythmic forms.
This album adds only Eno's characteristic production touches, like the reversed echo that adds a ghostly, unreal edge to Hassell's trumpet solos on the side-long "Charm (Over Burundi Cloud)."
The rest of the album, including the African hand drummers on the hypnotic "Delta Rain Dream" and the swirling, almost speech-like solos of "Griot," is pure Hassell.
Although this album was never a chart hit and has become surprisingly under-appreciated over the years, its influence on what has since become known as tribal techno is incalculable
SIDE 1: Chemistry / Delta Rain Dream / Griot (Over "Contagious Magic") / Ba-benzélé / Rising Thermal 14° 16' N; 32° 28' E
SIDE 2: Charm (Over "Burundi Cloud")
LABELS: Clean, bright and fresh labels with only one/two light spindle traces - barely played - MINT-
VINYL Visual: The record lies perfectly flat on the turntable and both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new, glossy sheen and are completely unmarked - MINT
VINYL Audio: This is a really beautiful LP and unlike most (if not all ) of the Eno related Obscure/EG releases this one plays throughout with CD-like silence - I have never heard such a clean pressing - critically graded MINT- for audio
SLEEVE: The sleeve is also in beautiful condition with just a little wear/creasing to the spine - EXCELLENT+

I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks (GS 6.0.6 (418))
