[Domestic License LP] Malando Tango Orchestra - World Famous Tango Performance Album (Includes Blue Tango / Jealousy) (EX)

Product Description

This is the masterpiece tango LP 《MALANDO SPEELT WERELDBEROEMDE TANGO'S》 performed by Malando (real name Arie Maasland), a world-renowned Dutch band leader, accordionist, and composer who led the popularization and golden age of Continental Tango music across Europe, and his tango orchestra (Malando en zijn Tango-Orkest). Since the 1930s, Malando has been a master musician who received explosive love from music lovers worldwide by sensually reinterpreting Latin tango in a European style, releasing world-famous tango classics such as 'Ole Guapa' based on his unique sophisticated and romantic string arrangements and cheerful sense of rhythm. This album is an original licensed LP (88297 DY / SEL-100028) produced and released by Sung Eum Mfg. Co. on May 8, 1972, through an official partnership with the Dutch record company Philips. It is packed with the most widely loved classic tango and Continental tango hits from around the world. Side A (Kant 1) features a rich selection of 6 tracks, starting with the epitome of passionate tango 'Jealousy', followed by 'O Donna Clara', the beautifully melodic 'La paloma', 'El once', 'Hör mein Lied, Violetta', and Malando's original composition 'Holanda-tango'. Side B (Kant 2) flows with 6 tracks performed enchantingly and elegantly, led by the representative tango rhythm masterpiece 'Blue tango', along with 'Ich küsse Ihre Hand, Madame', 'Tango du rêve', 'Guapita', 'Schöner Gigolo', and 'Japanese tango'. Looking at the product components and design features, it consists of an LP vinyl disc with a fontana original blue label attached, along with an original jacket cover featuring a bright sky blue background with an impressive full-body photo of Malando leaning against a conga percussion instrument with a gentle smile, dressed in a splendid smoking suit. On the top and right of the front of the jacket, the title 'MALANDO SPEELT WERELDBEROEMDE TANGO'S' and the track names are sophisticatedly displayed in three-dimensional gold and white fonts, and the PHILIPS brand logo is clearly printed on the top right and bottom right. The back of the jacket includes the Sung Eum production license credits and the phrase 'Printed in KOREA', along with neatly printed thumbnail artwork of 8 representative LP catalogs of the Malando Tango Orchestra, adding the visual pleasure unique to vintage analog records. Examining the preservation state of the physical record in detail, although the LP vinyl disc is an analog licensed record produced in the early 1970s, it boasts an overall good condition with the deep gloss and texture of the disc surface very smoothly preserved. The subtle blue color fontana original label in the center of the LP also has '33⅓ STEREO', 'MANUFACTURED May. 8, 1972', 'MADE IN KOREA', the catalog number, and track information printed clearly and cleanly without fading. Due to the nature of vintage LPs that have passed over 50 years, the original paper jacket cover naturally shows slight signs of age and indentation on the edges, but since the front sky blue color and the back printing are very clean, this is a masterpiece LP with excellent collection value for record collectors who enjoy classic Latin and tango music.
