Jazz vs Juntas

 

Jorge Lopez Ruiz - El Grito (Suite Para Orquesta De Jazz) [BEWITH078LP UK 2021 24-Bit FLAC]

Originally released on CBS Records in Argentina in 1967, subsequently most copies were destroyed by agents of the Onganía dictatorship. However Manchester's Be With Record label have pulled out a major plum with this wonderfully mastered repress from the original masters of Jorge Lopez Ruiz's big band jazz masterpiece, doubling as a protest record. This album has earnt the right to be played loudly.

Roll on 54 years to 2021, and it has been one of the very best for rarity reissues, with so many obscurely wonderful records getting the chance to be enjoyed by new audiences, mainly due to the hard work of the many new labels who dig through the crates of the world, seeking out genuine works of musical art.

If you got or gave the Adele album for Christmas, then I am sorry! All you have done is contribute to the woes of small record labels doing their damned best to release proper music. Who needs to listen to the dull & lonely anxieties of a talentless, overweight millennial, when you could instead be enjoying El Grito.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all the followers of Needle Time, a very Merry Christmas - keep safe and thank you for following my weirdly wide musical tastes and putting up with all my inane rambles about obscure vinyl records. 

A huge thanks also goes to those who put their hands in their pockets and donate to support my time consuming obsession of working with vinyl.

Much love & back soon!
