Description

LLANS THELWELL and the CELESTIALS

LLANS PLAYS IT ALL

West Indies Records Ltd. (WIRL) Soul LP 005, STEREO

 

Super rare ska LP that is far and away the best recording of this type I've ever heard!!  I searched for years to find another copy, finally saw one on eBay and watched it go for over $500.  So, I've decided to live with a good sounding recording of it I made, and offer it for auction.

 

Personnel (as described on the back cover): 

Jack Hurst and Neville Headley - Guitars

Dennis Robinson - Drums (the man is amazing!!)

Joe Bennett and Tony Wong - Trumpets

Barry Hayles - Trombone

Stanley Notice - Tenor Sax

Francis Dennis - Tumba

Junior Chambers and Barry Malcolm - Percussion and Vocalists

Busty Brown - Lead Vocalist

"and the Maestro himself, Llans Thelwell - Bass Guitar."

 

Tracks (with genres):  Jive Samba (Bossa Nova), No Parking (R&B), Lonely Night - vocal Busty Brown (R&B), Pick Up the Pieces - vocal Busty Brown (R&B), Mughead Ska, Golden Horns (Ska), Choo Choo Ska, Free For All (ska), Hanging Tree (Jump Up) and El Bobo (Cha-Cha).

 

Other credits: 

Musical Director - Llans Thelwell

Musical Arranger - Joe Bennett (who wrote all of side 2 and two tracks on side 1)

Recorded by Richard Khouri

Front Cover Photograph - Brian Motta

Back Cover Photograph - Ian Edwards

Artwork - Joe West

Cover Design - Ronnie Nasralla

Producer - Ronnie Nasralla

 

Condition:  Jacket has masking tape along top and bottom edges, an upper corner crease and wear in the lower front corner (visible in photograph).  The record has some crackle throughout and some noisier passages with "pops," but plays through.  If you're looking for a pristine copy, do not bid, but if some surface noise and "pops" will not get in the way of you enjoying great music, then you are likely to  love this LP. 

 

Shipping: The record, paper sleeve and jacket will be protected in a plastic sleeve and will be mailed in an LP mailer with the record in its paper sleeve outside it's jacket.  Shipping within the United States will be $4 media mail or $6 priority  mail.  Insurance will be additional, based on the amount of the winning bid and is recommended, as I will not be responsible for damage to carefully/properly packaged records.  International shipping will be calculated based on the winner's location.

 

Acceptable forms of payment: Cash, money orders (except for International winners) and PayPal. Payment must be received within 10 days of auction’s end, or seller reserves the right to cancel transaction and offer the record to the next highest bidder. 

 

Thanks for looking and good luck to all who bid!
