Description
Offered for sale is an original U.S. RCA Living Stereo pressing of Music to Break Any Mood by Dick Schory’s New Percussion Ensemble, with 1S/1S stampers.
About this copy: This copy of Music to Break Any Mood is a 1960 U.S. “Living Stereo” pressing on the RCA label.
The cover is VG++ with faint general wear. There is a gold stamp on the back cover that says “FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY.”
The original RCA inner sleeve is missing.
The disc is VG++ and close to M- with a couple of very faint sleeve scuffs. It’s a very clean disc that appears to have had little play.
A beautiful copy of a somewhat underrated audiophile LP. While Music for Bang Baaroom and Harp gets a lot of press in the audiophile world, this LP sounds every bit as good.
Background: Released in 1960, Music to Break Any Mood was the second album by Dick Schory’s New Percussion Ensemble.
Allmusic.com gave Music to Break Any Mood a 3 star review:
Dick Schory’s second major outing for RCA is more self-assured, from the preposterous jacket art and liner notes to more upbeat tunes. One assumes Schory handled all or most of the arrangements; Schory’s musical ideas are always fresher than those of Bobby Christian and Mike Simpson, who helped on the previous album. All but two tracks are good to great.
The entire LP is here on YouTube. It’s well worth a listen:
