Pat Metheny "Secret story" 1992 2lp set

U.K. double vinyl album Geffen GEF 24468.

Records pressed in Germany for EU/UK distribution.

From 1992 comes this rare and long out-of-print German double vinyl pressing of Pat Metheny's ‘Secret Story’ (Geffen GEF 24468).

The single-pocket sleeve is near mint with no hints of wear

(small tag price back top right). Both LP's are housed in their custom original inner sleeves and are in Near Mint (one play) condition as well.

Secret Story is an album by Pat Metheny released in 1992.

The music is all composed by Metheny himself (shared credit on one track only) and it is one of his most ambitious and successful studio ventures, integrating elements of jazz, rock, New Age and "world music".

On the performing side it includes collaborations with the Pinpeat Orchestra of the Royal Ballet (of Cambodia), the London Symphony Orchestra and its conductor Jeremy Lubbock, the Choir of the Cambodian Royal Palace, Toots Thielemans, Lyle Mays and many earlier members of Metheny's group.

Though there are no actual lyrics (the occasional vocals are wordless chant) the suite of pieces, the emotional charge of the music and the titles seem to suggest stories to read into the album, possibly a love relationship and its break-up.

Symphony Orchestra arrangements were written (where a definite score was used) and conducted by Jeremy Lubbock.

Despite the extremely diverse and multi-layered sound, Metheny took the music on a concert tour, and a video recording of a live performance at New Brunswick, NJ, was issued.

This film, also called Secret Story, was re-released on dvd in 2001.
