ARTIST : JAZZ DES JEUNES

HAITIAN MERINGUES

TRACKS : See Picture

LABEL : Anson 823 OG US (?) Press YEAR : 195?

FORMAT : 33 Rpm 10'' LP

VISUAL : Sleeve is VG (taped seams) Labels VG+ (wera, dirt)

AUDIO : VG+ (occasional light tick, constant background noise totally overpowered by music – a very enjoyable copy)

COMMENT : Fantastic early LP from two cornerstones of Haitian recorded music : the Anson label (the Anson bros would later found IBO and Macaya) and the mythical Jazz des Jeunes band, fronted by a very young Pierre Blain. Magnificent haitian meringues from the pre-Mini Jazz era. You can hardly go deeper than this, simply beautiful.

The ACTUAL POSTAGE COST will be calculated once i'll know where to ship the record : DON'T PAY BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THE INVOICE !!!! THANKS

All Soundclips are taken directly from the record auctioned and converted in mp3 : they're not « cleaned » by computer in any way so WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET

Feel free to ask for more soundclips or pictures and indeed any question : i'll be happy to answer them.

I will COMBINE SHIPPING for multiple wins

All order exceeding £15 / $30 (and £10 $20 for Italy and US) will be SHIPPED INSURED
