We do NOT accept returns if you decide you simply don't like the item, or have buyer's remorse - buy wisely, and ask questions if necessary. Damage incurred during shipping should be brought up with the carrier but is extremely rare as we box everything adequately, including using extra cardboard for protection.

We have to change shipping by hand - typically we charge what is close to the actual cost with maybe a $1 USD handling fee per item to cover the cost of packing materials.

Item Summary:

Previously unknown hard bop and cool jazz from Berlin Image Films of the 1960s, transferred and carefully restored from the original master tapes. All music by composer, vibraphonist and pianist Manfred Burzlaff (1932-2015), a true master of harmonies, inventing improvisational concepts and experiments somewhat comparable to the famous style of the Clarke-Boland Sextet. Lost soundtracks from promotional films for the city of West-Berlin, all original material plus versions of Mobley `s "Infra-Rae" and Tjader`s "Crow`s Nest". Burzlaff was one of the best European vibraphonists and a great arranger, which is not just a sentence being said because he doesn't live anymore! Vinyl-LP exclusive with unseen photos and nicely written obituary by Tatjana Wulfert.

All tracks composed, arranged and produced by Manfred Burzlaff, except A3 composed by Cal Tjader, B3 traditional and B4 composed by Hank Mobley. Previously unreleased soundtrack music from promotional films for the city of Berlin, mostly recorded during the early 1960s at Audio Tonstudio/Ostpreussendamm and at other unknown studios in the western part of town. Line-ups of musicians and groups unknown, all music transferred and carefully restored from magnetic master tapes discovered in the private archives of Manfred Burzlaff.
