Oscar Peterson - Exclusively for My Friends The Lost Tapes 180g LP

Vinyl LP MPS – the label with whom Oscar Petersen himself claimed to have made his best recordings.

The electric atmosphere of these live sessions before a mere handful of listeners proves once again just how at home the musicians felt in the Black Forest villa – as is borne out by the fact that Peterson’s usual trio formation alternated with his stand-in musicians of Sam Jones on the bass and Bobby Durham on the drums. And now, exclusively for all jazz fans, these amazing tracks are available for the very first time on an LP filled with glorious sound. Whether long-time collector or jazz newcomer, one thing is certain: this album belongs in every collection.

This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid.

Recording: May 1965, November 1967 and October 1968 at H.G. Brunner-Schwer’s private studio’s in Villingen/ Germany by H.-G. Brunner-Schwer / Production: H.-G. Brunner-Schwer
