Walter Wanderley ‎– Brazilian Blend, 1967 LP mono rip

Hi-Fi Brazilian sound of the 1960s. Wanderley is a wonderful organist who knows how to create a comfortable, positive atmosphere and has recorded many interesting albums. The disc is a late one, not the most revealing and thoroughly worn out, but “Red Roses” is great here.

Billie Holiday Favourites, 1951 LP rip

Lo-Fi, audiophile recording. Reissue on Phillips mid-1950s, 1930s takes with Teddy Wilson, Roy Eldridge and Lester Young. A record with cracks, but the great Mandy Is Two makes sense to listen to it anyway; Billy is uniquely nice.

Chet Baker With Strings, 1954 LP

Philips B 07034 L mid-1950s (original album-Columbia, 1954), the condition of the disc is below average. From an audiophile point of view, it is interesting to listen to “You don’t know what love is” where the accompanying orchestra is recorded cleanly and clearly.
