HELENA ESPVALL & MASAKI BATOH

SEALED Vinyl LP. Drag City Records DC 359. Stereo. COVER & VINYL: MINT still sealed, never played, gatefold cover, mild corner wear.

2008 collaboration between Swedish-born multi-instrumentalist Helena Espvall and Japanese legend Masaki Batoh (Ghost). By collaborating with each other, they've made one of the most beautiful recordings either one of them has participated in. The recording session was held in Tokyo over four days in December 2007. For instruments fans, this session might be a treasure. So many strings were used: 6- and 12-string guitar, banjo, cello, hurdy-gurdy, harp, contra bass, chappa Tibetan bells, Kin (Buddhist metallic bowl), timpani, bass marimba, vibraphone, thunder sheet and on and on. Six Swedish traditional tunes were reconstructed, along with Batoh's arrangement of "Death Letter," a classic Son House delta blues song. Additionally, a European medieval tune was addressed in their own arrangement and expressions. "Zeranium," a dreamy folk tune that Batoh wrote for Damon & Naomi (they didn't use it), was re-arranged for this session as well.  -  Drag City..

Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible. DISCLAIMER.
