The album cover of Louis Prima's THE WILDEST! perfectly captures the unabashed and ever-present enthusiasm of the famed Italian-American vocalist/trumpeter--head tilted back, mouth agape, and a smile a mile wide. This 1957 record contains many of Prima's best-known songs, including the boisterous "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" (covered by David Lee Roth in the '80s) and the swinging (and self-penned) "Jump, Jive, an' Wail" (revived in the '90s by the Brian Setzer Orchestra), along with the jazzy "Basin Street Blues/When It's Sleepy Time Down South," a nod to his hero and greatest influence, Louis Armstrong.
In addition to an ensemble led by saxophonist Sam Butera, Prima is joined here by his wife, the cool-as-a-cucumber singer Keely Smith, who provided the ideal counterbalance to his rowdy persona. Although THE WILDEST! is notable for its occasionally bawdy humor, it also boasts an innovative combination of early rock & roll, jump blues, and jazz. While many Prima compilations feature a wider range of material, this is the performer at his undiluted best, making it essential for his true fans.

You Will not be disappointed with the quality of this very special LP in NM Condition

We do not mark up our shipping or charge for packing. We include the Canada Post calculator for your convenience for Canada and The USA. We have encountered lengthy delays shipping items overseas at the surface rate. In some cases it has taken four months to reach some countries. Airmail takes 5 to 10 days and is highly recommended. It is usually about 16.90 Airmail to most overseas destinations for 2 LPs or 3 45 singles. After that the weight will exceed .5 kg. We will always combine shipping on multiple purchases! All our records are from our personal collection accumulated over the last 45 years. Most are in excellent to NM condition unless otherwise stated in the description.

We do not mark up or charge for packing. The rates shown in the calculator are Canada Post rates. Shipping is extra and to be determined after the auction (you can combine purchases to save on postage and have a look at www.canadapost.ca for an approximate postage rate). Auctions of over US$75 are subject to being shipped via registered mail with tracking - there is an extra cost for this. I am not responsible for unregistered items damaged or lost in the post. Purchasers have to contact me after the auction within 3 days with shipping address to calculate shipping to be added to the bid amount. We will not be responsible for items lost in the mail shipped overseas. Canada Post does not provide tracking capabilities for anything shipped internationally below the Expresspost rate. We usually ship within 24 hours of receiving payment. We have experienced some very slow deliveries to Australia and the UK for some reason when shipped at the cheapest "surface" rate and find it just as frustrating as the buyer does. We no longer offer surface shipping to overseas location because of the lengthy shipping times. Airmail has been quick and 100% successful thus far!

Payment is expected within 7 days of auction close.
