ATTENTION 1960s MODERN JAZZ AND"LIBRARY" MUSIC COLLECTORS!
THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE RAREST MODERN JAZZ LPs TO EVER BE SEEN ON EBAY!
"INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE SUITE".CBO/LP 613.
HERE IS A 1968 UK PRESSED CHARLES BRULL HARMONIC LABEL MONO LP OF MOOD MUSIC ALSO KNOWN AS"LIBRARY MUSIC"MADE FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF RADIO,TV AND FILM COMPANIES UNDER SPECIAL LICENCE AND NOT ORIGINALLY MADE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.PRESSED IN A TINY RUN OF JUST A FEW HUNDRED COPIES AND NOT KNOWN TO EXIST BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF JAZZ COLLECTORS!
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST KEENLY SOUGHT AFTER ALBUMS ON THE LABEL WITH ELEVEN ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS BY R.KOVAC(WHO I ASSUME IS A CZECH COMPOSER)HOWEVER THIS IS MODERN BOP INFLUENCED BUT YET VERY TUNEFUL JAZZ,CRYSTAL CLEAR,CRISP MONO SOUND WITH LOTS OF BASS!
MUSICALLY IMAGINE A COMBINATION OF JAMES BOND/AVENGERS/CULT 1960s ACTION MOVIES IN GENERAL/JOHN DANKWORTH/JOHN BARRY AND THAT MODERN BIG BAND PROGRESSIVE JAZZ MID TO LATE 1960s SOUND AND YOU CAN GET THE IDEA OF WHAT'S ON THIS LP!
ONE STAND OUT TRACK HAS SOME PSYCHEDELIC INSPIRED SPEEDED UP SAXES AND TRUMPETS!
WELL WORTH MY MODEST £10 START OUT OF PURE CURIOUSITY AND OF COURSE YOU COULD OWN AN LP THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HAVE!
I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THIS LP-MOST TRACKS LAST ABOUT A MINUTE BUT THERE ARE SOME LONGER ONES.
NO STEREO COPIES WERE MADE OF THIS LP AS THE BRITISH FILM/TV/RADIO INDUSTRY STILL PREFERRED MONO MIXES IN 1968!
HOUSED IN A PLAIN WHITE COVER AS SO OFTEN THESE LPs WERE WITH A FEW COMMENTS ADDED IN PENCIL AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IN ONE CORNER+THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE!
A FINISHED COVER DOES EXIST BUT BEING THESE WERE FOR INDUSTRY ONLY QUITE OFTEN THE SMALLER COMPANIES LIKE THIS ONE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO REPRINT FOR THE LESS POPULAR TITLES-MOST INDUSTRY USERS FOR JAZZ WOULD USE EXISTING COMMERCIAL LPs TO SAVE TIME! MOST USERS FOR THE MOOD MUSIC LIBRARIES WERE LOOKING FOR SHORT LINKS AND THE UNUSUAL SOUNDS NOT TO BE FOUND ELSEWHERE!
IT HAS BECOME A BIT OF A CULT FAVOURITE AMONGST COLLECTORS OF THIS LABEL-AT THE TOP OF THE WANTS LISTS FOR MANY,RARELY TURNING UP ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN 2012!
HERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
THERE ARE NO INDIVIDUAL TRACK TITLES.
DJs MIGHT WELL BE ABLE TO FIND"BREAKS","SAMPLES"OR THEME MUSIC WITH ALL TRACKS CLEARLY TIMED WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND INDIVIDUALLY BANDED!
AS FAR AS I KNOW,THE TRACKS HAVE NEVER BEEN ISSUED COMMERCIALLY AND THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED-GLEAMING SURFACES,NO SURFACE MARKS AND I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE-UPGRADER STANDARD!
NEAR MINT CONDITION! FANTASTIC CONDITION!
PRESSED IN A TINY QUANTITY OF PROBABLY LESS THAN 500 COPIES,MAYBE AS FEW AS 200-THE CHARLES BRULL COMPANY WERE NOT AS POPULAR AS OTHER COMPANIES AND WERE VERY STRICT AS TO WHO WERE ALLOWED TO OBTAIN THE DISCS -THIS IS BASED ON MY KNOWLEDGE HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO VARIOUS TV/RADIO STAFF OVER THE YEARS AND COLLECTORS OF THE LPs! THIS LP COMING FROM A FORMER SOUND ENGINEER AT A TELEVISION STATION WHO HAD THE PERMISSION TO OBTAIN THESE RECORDS STRICTLY FOR HIS OWN USE!
THE MAJORITY ENDED UP IN THE LIBRARIES OF RADIO AND TV STUDIOS AND FILM COMPANIES!
IN MORE RECENT TIMES,HARDLY ANY COPIES HAVE BEEN RETAINED BY SUCH SOURCES,WHAT WITH THE SWITCH TO CD AND DOWNLOADING!
MOST COPIES ARE NOW IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS AND THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!
A REALISTIC LOW £10 STARTING PRICE!
IF IT DON'T SELL,I'M KEEPING IT SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONCE IN A BLUE MOON OPPORTUNITY SOME MORE LIBRARY MUSIC LPs AND VINYL 78s TO FOLLOW FROM ME IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!
GOOD COMBINED POSTAGE DEALS AVAILABLE!
SUPERB SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
