A most successful live recording from Carnegie Hall before it was modified. Your mind's eye can just follow Belafonte as he jumps around the stage. The smallish band that accompanies him is positioned rock-solid in the back and center. Here the audience "noise" is almost as interesting and useful for audio demonstration as the performance. Great work done by the eminent RCA engineer Bob Simpson. Very popular issue indeed, but getting scarce quickly, especially in this kind of shape. Why? Every new collector wants a copy once he/she hears it!

Producer: Bob Bollard

Engineer: Bob Simpson

Recording location/date: Carnegie Hall, New York City/19-20 Apr., 1959

Issued: 1959

Cover condition: EX+ (very slight delam near opening), gatefold

Stamper: 15S/12S/12S/20S black dog label RCA "I" pressing

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
