PIERO UMILIANI Percussions LP.

Scarce and great library LP by the italian drummer delivering mindblowing music from begining to end. Half experimental jazz rythms with sound effects, half fat funky beats whether they are efficiently played by percussions solos, with a deep bass line, or even with a psychedelic hammond touch! Chose your poison, this record is dope ... Check the audio and have your own idea.

BE AWARE THAT I'M ABOUT TO LIST MANY MORE RECORDS ON SUNDAY NIGHT. NORTHERN SOUL, SWEET SOUL, EARLY FUNK, 70'S FUNK, LIBRARY AND A FEW DISCO BOTH ON LPs AND 45s, A LOT OF MORE OR LESS RARE FRENCH ONLY GOODIES, SOME ABSOLUTELY UNKNOWN REFERENCES WITH SOUNDFILES... SO, STAY TUNNED, THE TIME IS NOW!

A GOOD THING TO KNOW: The audio has been recorded from the records listed played on my soundburger wich is not what we can call an audiophile equipment. Plus, I'm far from beeing a sound engineer and these are my first home made audio files! I played the records on my personnal turntable with a stanton groovemaster cardbridge with 2.00 g weight in order to check if some records were sounding worse than they look. I did eliminate a very few of them and did note all the sound defections (or perfections) I encountered while listening. If a record doesn't play very close to perfectly, you'll know it. In a few words, please, don't judge the sound quality but the musical content of these audio files, even if most of the time they give quite a good idea of the way the record plays, they're sometimes very bad sounding while the record plays perfectly on my turntable (the soundburger's arm is very light and makes sound any tiny piece of dust stucked into a record's groove).However, I sincerely hope the effort I made on sound grading plus providing so much sound clips will help you beeing curious: some unknown and great stuff is listed...

ANOTHER GOOD THING TO KNOW: I listed the records both in UK pounds and in US dollars. This shouldn't stop anyone to place a bid, I mean you're welcome to combine purchases whatever the currency is! The end of the story is some euros on my bank account...

SOME OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW: I'm also a record collector. That means I'm exigent about grading when I buy records, I also hate bad surprises (I've been very unfortunate past year with overgraders on eBay)... So, be confident, my record grading is very strict, bid accordingly to the condition staten, I spent a lot of time in order to provide the audio, check any problem, to be as complete and fair as possible. I think you can feel it in my descriptions. If this is not enough, feel free to check my feedback as a seller, I don't sell records often but when it happens it's good. Records will be securely packed in strong cardbroad record mailers. Attention, the fact I'm selling a few records on eBay doesn't means that I'm spending my days doing nothing... I'm actually very hard working plus beeing a young father (and that means a lot!) and will gladly answer your questions but don't expect me to go to the post office twice a day. I'll only be able to pack records and post them one morning or evening by week. And I want my future winning bidders to know that I'll be brilliant in my service but once a week only... In other words, if you pay fast, I'll send sooner considering that my delay of sending will be of one week maximum. Every winner will be notified when the record(s) is sent. I hope I'll sell these records to nice persons and good eBayers, the payment has to be made in a reasonable delay as long as you finished with bidding on my auctions: 7 days from the auction's end. Thank you for bidding but do it only if you intend to pay. I will not assume for lost or stolen parcels if you don't choose registration wich is the only way to make parcels trackable.
