DON RENDELL & IAN CARR QUINTET The Complete Lansdowne Recordings 1965-1969 (Essential Limited Edition 2018 UK audiophile stereo 5-LP box set, the first ever official vinyl re-release of all five classic Lansdowne recordings by Britain's greatest jazz quintet of the sixties. After a two decade tussle over licensing agreements with Universal, Jazzman Records deliver. The five albums here are cult classics & have reached near mythical status in the vinyl collector's market; Shades OfBlues (1965), Dusk Fire (1966), Phase III (1968), Change Is (1969) & Live (1969). Regarded as musically-fantastic, holy grail artefacts for the Jazz collector [Dusk Fire really is one of the best albums of its kind, even rivalling peak-Miles Davis!], their collective second hand market value comes to an astonishing £6000 for original copies, making this a sound investment. Jazzman located the original analogue master tapes from the Universal vaults & created masters at Abbey Road Studios to produce audiophile quality 180gram pressings replete with replica artwork - shape, design & even paper stock -a true labour of love to the highest possible standard. The enclosed booklet contains never before seen photographs, interviews with the remaining living band members & liner notes from BBC Radio 3 presenter & award-winning jazz writer, Alyn Shipton, all housed in a custom 12" title box. Sealed & a must have JMANLP106).
