Description:
Sit back, put your feet up and enjoy a full listening session of this album, without the need to get up and flip the record! Enjoy this upload? Please Comment, Thumb up, and Subscribe to me! Thanks, Evan"Here's the album that young America has been asking for..."The clickable times listed below allow you direct access to each track.00:44 A1 Afro-Deesia 02:46 A2 Brazilian Bash 05:24 A3 Bustin' The Bongos 10:38 A4 Conversation 13:16 A5 Poppin' Panderos 15:46 B1 Talkin' Drums 19:38 B2 Reverberasia 21:50 B3 Shoutin' Drums 27:45 B4 Gringo 29:56 B5 Mood TattoedRecorded in late 1956, released in 1957, this album was found last week at Goodwill in Boynton Beach, Florida. I've never heard of Les Baxter before, but picked this album up based on enjoying "Bongos" & "Bongos, Flute, Guitars", on 'Command Records' a few weeks prior. After two complete back-to-back plays, this album jumped straight to the top of my "Full LP" upload list, as I found the album to be a very interesting listen, with none of the tracks letting me down. After hearing this album, you can be assured I will be grabbing more Les Baxter albums when I come across them.I was lucky enough to find this album in amazing shape for it age. Generally you always know a record is in good shape and well cared for when it's stored in the sleeve, with the sleeve being stored in the jacket upright to minimize dust and contaminants from contacting the vinyl. Lucky that is the way I found this album. I am also amazed by the fidelity of a recording from 1956, pressed on 54 year old vinyl!For all my Full LP uploads, I use software to eliminate clicks/pops, and reduce surface noise to give you a taste of what the album could sound like if I had a more intensive/expensive vinyl cleaning regiment. You can hear the clicks/pops fade out just before the first track @ 0:36.Until now, I have not been able to easily find any of these songs uploaded to the internet, longer than 30 second sample clips. So please sit back and enjoy this album in uninterrupted full length with all linear notes, as I have.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recording Notes:Vinyl was washed in a 'Spin Clean Record Washer System' and treated with 'Gruv Glide'. Recorded from an Audio Technica AT-LP120usb turntable/Audio Technica AT-440Mla cartridge, into the phono input of a Harman/Kardon 330c receiver, and finally into an Onkyo Wavio SE-U33GXV USB Digital Audio processor. Recorded from my laptop using Audacity @ 24bit/48,000 Hz.Exported from Sony Vegas in MP4 format with the following settings:Audio: 320kbps, 48,000 Hz, 24 Bit, StereoVideo: 29.970 fps, 1440x1080 Progressive, 12 MbpsYoutube knocks the audio down from the above, to 128kbps.

Apr 12, 2011 - Also, thanks for the good words! i did put a more effort/detail into this Full LP upload, it took me quite awhile to complete compared to other full uploads. the goal is for people who have not had the privilege of owning a record player, to come as close as sitting down and enjoying it, without actually having to get up and flip it the record. Thanks again! Evan

Apr 12, 2011 - a "Hunt EDA Mark 6 Carbon Fiber Brush" it is re-branded under other names as well. it does a good job up picking up a great deal of surface dust. Evan

Apr 12, 2011 - Oustanding! I like especially your video editing. I think you and BSD2000 have the best videos around.Maybe 30 minutes videos are a bit too heavy to load in HD, even for fast internet connections... :-P

May 10, 2011 - Does that brush work well?
gilmour509 Says:
May 10, 2011 - why yes it does. are you looking to get into vinyl?
The1970sInfatuate Says:
May 11, 2011 - Yeah, I am. I was just trying to find the best way to clean records without having to buy expensive cleaning fluids etc.
gilmour509 Says:
May 11, 2011 - i dry brush cleaning alone will not be enough to really get down in the grooves, but it is better than nothing. i give a wet cleaning first using my "spin clean record washer". i fill mine with hot filtered tap water. i'm going to eventually build my own record cleaning machine for getting deep down in the grooves with a "nitty gritty" brush, and make my own cleanerthere are tutorials out there showing how to make your own RCM, and be able to vacuum clean the vinyl.

Turkeydoodlers Says:
Sep 27, 2011 - I must say you put a lot of work in your videos, showing your equipment, description on the back of the album, nice work. I subcribed
ipsurvivor Says:
Dec 2, 2011 - Excellent sound quality and video! For people who think a percussion album might be dull I challenge them to listen to the whole thing and give it a chance. Also this is a great resource for people who want to jam but are not comfortable with drum machines etc.

Dec 20, 2011 - I love you. I'm subscribing right now. I will feature one of your videos on my page. You've reminded me just how much I appreciate vinyl. in 2012, I want to by the same system you're using, and check my vinyl that's been in storage for close to 10 years. All the best to you! ~Val @ Creator's Parrot Channel

Apr 21, 2012 - Do you have any Martin Denny?
jdsowa Says:
May 17, 2012 - It's amazing how offbeat the percussion is on a lot of les baxter albums.. almost sounds like the needle is skipping..
mbarker12474 Says:
May 18, 2012 - I love these videos and concept and video production, where you show the album on the turntable, the needle, the jacket, and the snagged bits of text from the liner notes.

Apr 12, 2011 - "MUCH cooler record than I think it should be" that's a great way to put it. Because my expectations were not that high when purchasing it. my thoughts were, that it was in great shape, and only 59 cents". very glad i made that decision., as some of my favorite record purchases are the ones that were bought on a unknown whim.
