- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Extremely rare and highly-prized by collectors of British psych and jazz, "MIKE WESTBROOK'S METROPOLIS" is a record packed with the most cutting grooves, funky beats and lush arrangements. Metropolis has been played in various forms by bands ranging from four to twenty five musicians. This version for big-band was presented by the London Jazz Centre Society at the Mermaid Theatre in London on May 18, 1969. All tracks on this LP were recorded live at Lansdowne Recording Studios in London during August 3rd, 4th, 5th, 1971. ARTISTS ON THIS RECORDING INCLUDE: MIKE WESTBROOK ~ NIGEL CARTER ~ KENNY WHEELER ~ HAROLD BECKETT ~ ALAN SKIDMORE ~ GEORGE KHAN ~ HARRY MILLER ~ JOHN MARSHALL ~ MIKE OSBORNE ~ HENRY LOWTHER ~ DAVE HOLDSWORTH. This record was pressed in relatively small numbers and poorly distributed and is now incredibly hard to track down. A fantastic long-player and an extraordinary work of art. This record is hard to find in any condition, but almost impossible to unearth in this kind of shape. MEAN AND LEAN, WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF FAT. PLEASE NOTE: BOTH THE SLEEVE AND VINYL ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE PAPER SLEEVE HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RING-WEAR. I PROMISE THIS IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. STRICTLY GRADED. A PERSONAL FAVOURITE PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU COURTESY OF THE EVER-ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE. Please Feel Free to Browse My Other Ebay Auctions For More JAZZ Rarities.
