Description
“Wilderness America/A Celebration of the Land, is a musical exploration of our place within the cycle of living things. All compositions were specially commissioned for this album and blended with natural sounds recorded in the wild.” That’s what the liner notes say, but that’s only half the story. This private record includes various artists, but has recently become known for the track “Metropolis,” which is a real nice modern soul/funk song that features Walter Hawkins, Harvey Mason, Mike Melvoin, and Lee Ritnour. Wilderness America opens with a gorgeous piece by New Age/electronic musician Iasos. Other pieces include “Mountain,” a gentle folk piece sung by David Riordan (who wrote many of the tracks on this LP), and “Flight of the Egret,” a jazzy folk instrumental track. Privately released in the U.S., probably in the 1970s. The cover is still in the shrink wrap and is in M-- condition. The record is in M- condition.

Payment and Shipping Information

Winners outside of the U.S. will be notified of postal fees, but an approximate cost for one LP to many countries is $16.97 by airmail (but Canada and Mexico will be less than this for most single LP packages). Yes, I do combine shipping so if you bid on and win more than one item, you WILL save on postage! Note: I do not gouge on postage and packaging costs. Record will be carefully packaged in a strong, oversized LP mailer. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. E-mail: david.o@jjldj.com.
International Customers: Please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side. Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due. I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end. Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges (typically collected upon delivery or pickup) are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Please check with your country’s customs office prior to bidding/buying to determine what these additional costs will be.
