ITEM:      Very rare LP, seldom seen on Ebay.  " Caribbean Nights ( Les Nuits Caraibes ) ",  by Diane Adrian. Released in 1955 in New Orthophonic High Fidelity on the RCA Deep Groove Label, catalog number LPM-1083.  First Pressing, Matrix Stamper Numbers are 1/S, and 1/S.        

COMMENTS/CONDITION:    This LP came from a private collection.  I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR LP's FROM THE SAME COLLECTION THAT I AM LISTING AS TIME PERMITS.  Grading is according to Goldmine Standards. Record was visually inspected, and was test played. If you are not familiar with Goldmine's system, please go to the Goldmine web site and read the grading details BEFORE YOU BID.

This is a unique and enjoyable album, containing traditional Haitian and Afro-Cuban songs as interpreted by Diane Adrian, with the backing of orchestra and chorus directed by Alan Greene. The music takes on a completely different sound when the drum rhythms are blended with the full, lush sound of the orchestra. The dynamic and soaring vocal talents of Diane Adrian backed by the chorus, result in an exciting interpretation and "Americanizing" of the traditional Caribbean selections performed here.      


The vinyl is in VG+ condition, with a nice gloss. Under a close inspection, a few wispy scuffs and light surface scratches can be seen that do not affect the playing of the songs. There are no warps, deep scratches, cracks, or excessive groove wear. On my older system, both sides played quietly, with no issues. There were no pops, skips, groove lock, or annoying background noise.  NOTE: All music systems are different. These comments are made for reference purposes only. They are not meant to describe the results you may experience from your equipment.

The labels are in very good, clean condition, with no rips, tears, or stains.  Center hole is perfectly round, with no evidence of repeated or abusive playing.

Cover is in strong VG/VG+ condition. There is a clean 5 inch split at the right side of the top seam, minor chipping on the paper overlay along the opening edge. On the back panel there is a price written in pencil, and light scuff marks. Cover artwork colors are crisp and bright with no fading. This is not a cut-out, no holes, notches, or clipped corners.    



Please see the attached high resolution photos for close up views to help you determine for yourself the condition of the LP.
