Some words on this issue: VON SCHLIPPENBACH, ALEXANDER: “Globe Unity/ Sun” (MPS Records – 1506). Original French MPS pressing. Top notch copy on the highly collectible, Japanese MPS label – first pressing released in 1969 in stunningly death mint condition and housed in a thicker than life fold out jacket. On this one Von Schlippenbach teams up with other hardcore players Peter Brötzmann, Günter Hampel, Manfred Schoof, Peter Kowald, Willem Breuker, Willi Lietzmann, Kris Wanders, Jaki Liebezeit (Can drummer) and Guru Guru’s own Mani Neumeier You can hardly go wrong with such a line-up. The music speaks for its self, lyrical free blowing jazz touching on almost divine spheres. This is an incredible example of '60s energy music, a sure-fire way to clear your head. Schlippenbach, Brotzmann, and their small circle of Europeans joined the Free Revolution years before any but a tiny handful in the States realized it. Consisting of two long-form orchestrations, the record shows two opposing sides to the composer: “Globe Unity” is the side of stands as a key predecessor to today’s “free” improvisation, while “Sun” suggests an early interest in the influences of mid-century “world” music in the Europeans’ task of making a unique, modern voice for itself outside of coexisting American forms. Great all over and ultra collectable, especially in this condition. A must and a benchmark in free improvised music circles.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
