Description
Offered for sale is an original U.S. red vinyl stereo pressing of Katanga! by Curtis Amy & Dupree Bolton.
About this copy: This copy of Katanga! is a 1963 U.S. stereo pressing on the Pacific Jazz label.
The cover is VG+ with light wear on the laminated front cover.
The red vinyl disc is VG++ with a couple of light scuffs from the original wax-paper-style inner sleeve (included) but no other marks on the vinyl. There are a couple of spindle marks on the labels; the record has likely only been played a few times.
A nice copy of a pretty good Jazz LP that is very hard to find on red vinyl.
Background: Released in 1963, Katanga! was the sixth album by American saxophonist Curtis Amy.
Allmusic.com gave Katanga! a 4 star review:
Tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy recorded six albums for Pacific Jazz during 1960-63. …The Katanga date matched him with the legendary (and barely documented) trumpeter Dupree Bolton, guitarist Ray Crawford (heard in top form), pianist Jack Wilson, bassist Victor Gaskin and drummer Doug Sides on four originals, plus “A Shade of Brown” and “You Don’t Know What Love Is.” … Obscure but rewarding music that was overshadowed during the era and was previously long out of print.
