HARRY BELAFONTE
Belafonte At Carnegie Hall
Original 1959 1st Issue US Pressed Double Lp Housed In A Laminate Gatefold Sleeve And Complete With RCA Inner Sleeves.
The Granddaddy Of All Live Albums, This Double-LP Set Captures The Excitement Of A Harry Belafonte Concert At The Height Of His Popularity. Sampled From Two Consecutive Performances Of Identical Material, Belafonte At Carnegie Hall Was An Anomaly At A Time When Only Comedy Albums Were Recorded Outside Of The Studio Environment. It Wasn't The First Live Album Ever Made, But It Was Certainly The First To Be A Major Financial And Artistic Success.
From The Opening Trumpet Fanfare And Brief Orchestral Overture To The Epic 12-Minute Version Of "Matilda" (Which Set A Standard For Audience Participation), The Album Never Lets Up. It Is Exciting, Poignant, Thrilling, Intimate, And At Times, Spontaneously Hilarious. Belafonte's Mastery In Front Of An Audience Was Never Better Displayed Than Here, A Mastery That Has Resulted In Him Becoming One Of The Most Popular Concert Draws In History. Producer Bob Bollard And Orchestra Leader Bob Corman Deftly Integrated The 47-Piece Orchestra Into The Performance But Knew When To Lie Back To Let Belafonte Sing, Accompanied By A Small Combo Of Two Guitars, Bass, And Percussion. The Concert Is Divided In Three Sections: "Moods Of The American Negro," "In The Caribbean," And "Around The World." All The Hits Are Here: "Day O," "Jamaica Farewell," "Mama Look A Boo Boo," And Others, Plus Calypso, Folk Songs, Chain Gang Songs, Spirituals, And Songs From Other Lands, Representing A Veritable Best-Of Package Of His First Decade With RCA Victor. For Sheer Scope And Genius Of Performance, This Is The Quintessential Belafonte Package.
The Lp Set Was Released On The Black/Coloured Dog ‘RCA’ Label (loc 6006) And Comes To Auction In Ex+/Ex+/Ex+ Condition
