This is where stuff that won't fit on the Shellac Shanty or AudiOddities blogs. Lounge, funk, or just stuff that I happen to like run through my addled brain. Eclectica forever!

Bongos / Reeds / Brass (Vol. 2)




OK, time to get back into the lounge groove thing... with a little ping-pong stereo to boot! Here we have a Life label (from HiFi Records) record from the early 1960s, with some very interesting percussion arrangements, along with a LOT of low register reeds... this'll give the subwoofer a workout... the tunes are pretty stock, but done in an interesting manner... no Hugo Winterhalter here!

I have included the 2-page inner-jacket scans in here, because they show some interesting pics and descriptions (and prices!) of recording equipment in the early 1960s...

The tunes are great, the recording is wonderful, even though the disc was a little bit trashed, CoolEdit did its' thing.

Remember, leave comments if'n you like it, so I know more of what to put up here... and also, if you feel so moved, drop a few shekels into the donation box... please.

Cover scans are here:
The front...
The back...
The first part of the inside...
The other part of the inside...

Check out these nifty Bongos / Reeds / Brass!

Fantastic! Lost this in the flood, but your rip is so clean that it is a welcome replacement. Thank you so much, Impaler.
