Archie Shepp Quartet - True Ballads / 2LP Venus Records

Eloquent and controversial, tenor saxophonist, composer and vocalist Archie Shepp was a passionate advocate of "free jazz" in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1990s,

he surprised Japanese jazz fans with a series of ballad albums on Venus Records, starting with 'Blue Ballads' in 1995 and 'True Ballads' in 1996.

Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition is sold out, the titles are removed from the catalog. Collectors should therefore consider a purchase in time.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
