Fantastic lp of field recordings of natural sounds from the Montaña rainforest region in eastern Peru, originally made to accompany a 1951 exhibit on Peruvian Indians at the Museum Of Natural History in New York. One side is sounds of the dry season (monkeys, crickets, toucans, macaws, cicadas, etc.), and the other side covers the rainy season (toads, more birds, an extended rainfall sequence, etc.), with no narration just gorgeous raw sound. Includes insert with notes by Folkways founder Moses Asch, who produced and edited this lp.

This record is a great source of unusual sound effects for DJs, producers, turntablists, and collectors of unusual sound objects and should be of interest to fans of musique concrete, Pierre Schaeffer, Luc Ferrari, Jim Fassett, Tony Schwartz, the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, DJ Shadow, Mix Master Mike, Q-Bert, Otomo Yoshihide, Nurse With Wound, Christian Marclay, Martin Tetreault, Erik M, Negativland, Kid Koala, etc. Check out my other items for more early electronic/synth/concrete/electroacoustic, avant garde/experimental/noise, free jazz/improv, sound art, field recordings/sound effects, audiophile, and 20th century classical vinyl.

Packing - I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective) reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know. Other Info - Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use the 'ask a question' link below. Records are visually graded unless otherwise noted; my condition rating scale is M (sealed) / NM (unplayed) / EX (barely used) / VG (some evident wear from prior use but no major flaws) / G (major flaws).
