AudioNautes Recordings writes “After the three new UHQ-CD coming in September and the Mono very limited edition of Belafonte, many news on vinyl. The first title is AN-2403 Joculatores Upsaliensis, Early Music at Wik. Recorded by Robert von Bahr in 1974 with 2 mics and published as BIS LP-3, it’s an almost forgotten pearl. Single 33rpm with 26 tracks, 2024 it’s the 50th anniversary and a perfect occasion to make audiophile enjoy this music and to feel the fantastic and cheerful atmosphere of the recording (confirmed by Robert himself).
The second title is AN-2404 Jazz at the Pawnshop Vol.2.Unlike Jazz at the Pawnshop (whose session tapes are no longer available – since tens of years), the Vol.2 comes from the session tapes! These two tapes contain almost 1 hour of music, so all standard vinyl versions made so far excluded “In a mellow tone” track, to make it possible in 1 single 33rpm. However, we included it, adding one more side (Side C). Then, having one free side (Side D), we also added a bonus track, “Jeep’s blues” take 2, a very slow, long and emotional version taken from the 7″ tape recorded on December 7th, 1976. It seems to be the very last played track. The group played it just for pleasure and very few people. We also left almost 4 mins of background “noise” with chats, speeches, etc., what recorded till the end of the tape: Palmcrantz did not stop the recording. It’s a double 33rpm.
Both titles available in autumn, pre-order open now. Pressed at Optimal.
