Description
THE BLUE MITCHELL ORCHESTRA - "Brasses And Strings". With arrangements by Tadd Dameron and Benny Golson. Recorded 1961, issued 1961 or 62/ Vintage Stereo pressing on the Fortissimo Stereo 8000 Series. Riverside issued the mono version of this recording as "Smooth As The Wind". Riverside's Fortissimo was a subsidiary and issued this special stereo version of (#XK-8006), one of their unique experimental series.
Special audiophile record on red vinyl which plays from the inside out. Pressed on 'Polymax' (an alternative to vinyl) which is supposed to be self-lubricating, anti-static, and harder than other materials to resist the tendency of the needle tip to 'iron out the more delicate sound impressions...'.
Gatefold cover contains lots of technical info, etc, inside; the inside is Near Mint. The heavily-laminated front cover is NM. Back cover is VG+ with some light wear & age-fading. Spine and bottom seams are NM. Top seam on the front part of gatefold is fine but on the back (where the record pocket is) it's split completely front to back (this is a pretty neat split though so could be repaired successfully) (this was apparently a common thing with this series; the Ray Baretto I sold a couple weeks ago was exactly the same).
Record: one side is NM, other side has is NM- (minor sleeve lines). The deep red transparent vinyl overall is beautiful (note: lines and small marks in my photos is flaws in my scanner, not there in reality!). Labels are NM.
