Description
I HAVE BEEN BUYING AND SELLING JAZZ ALBUMS FOR OVER 50 YEARS, AM SELLING A NUMBER OF RARE EUROJAZZ ALBUMS. ALREADY FOR SALE RIGHT NOW (RENé THOMAS AND JACK SELS ON THE BELGIAN VOGEL LABEL, A RARE FINNISH COLUMBIA ALBUM, FRANCO CERRI ON ITALIAN COLUMBIA, TONEY KINSEY ON DECCA), FOR SALE NOW THE 2 BELGIANS RENé THOMAS AND BOBBY JASPAR ON ITALIAN RCA VICTOR PML 10324, ROME 1962. THIS ALBUM COMES FROM THE ESTATE OF THE WELL KNOWN BELGIAN RADIO PRESENTATOR WALTER DE BLOCK, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED HOT CLUBS OF EUROPE. THE STORY IS THAT RENé THOMAS WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH HIS SOLO PERFORMANCE "SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES". SO HE GAVE THE ALBUM TO WALTER FOR PUBLIC BROADCAST, BUT BARRED THE TITLE ON THE SLEEVE AND ON THE VINYL, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS TITLE TO BE BROADCASTED. AS A MATTER OF FACT HE PUT 5 NEAT SCRATCHES ON THE SOLO TRACK "SMOKE GETS....". THE OTHER TRACKS EXCELLENT. SOME SURFACE MARKS, NOTHING ALARMING. THE LABELS ARE NOT TOTALLY CLEAN. SLEEVE EXCELLENT: THE SEAMS HAVE BEEN NEATLY REINFORCED WITH TRANSPARENT TAPE, TITLE "SMOKE.." HAS BEEN BARRED IN RED; 2 MORE MINOR MARKS ON THE BACK. VINYL COMES IN THE ORIGINAL RCA ITALIANA INNER SLEEVE. LOW RESERVE FOR THIS HISTORICAL ITEM.
