(from Smithsonian Folkways) "Däfos is a musical ethnography of an imaginary country created by Mickey Hart and Airto Moreira. The album was recorded live in San Francisco as a celebration of percussion music with the help of Jose Lorenzo and his Brazilian percussion group Batucaje. Originally released in 1983 and later reissued as part of “THE WORLD” series (now part of the Mickey Hart Collection made available by Smithsonian Folkways), the album was produced without the use of overdubs. The songs lead listeners on a journey across deserts and icecaps, through the fictional geography and mythology of Däfos, and features traditional Brazilian, Indonesian and African instruments, woodwinds and electric bass guitar."

Vinyl is in near mint (NM), flawless condition, TREATED WITH LAST RECORD PRESERVATIVE.   No rubs, scratches, no nothing....
COVER HAS BUMPS AT LEFT CORNERS, OTHERWISE VG+,  very nice and original sheen.   Please see close-up photos for best guide to condition of cover.

I may have played this LP once before LAST treatment and probably only 3-4 times some 20 years ago.  It is like new.

I emphasize the LAST treatment because some people don't like it, however...(from people who know)

LAST "Significantly improves the sound of even new records, and is claimed to make them last longer; 2 oz contains 60 treatments."

Stereophile Recommended Component Class A, 10/96; p. 141, review Vol. 5 #3.

Michael Fremer, Spring 1994, The Absolute Sound Magazine:

"While I am on the subject, let me enthusiastically recommend the LAST products. Now that records are rarities, preservation is more important than ever. The LAST products work, and they improve the sound too. This was all covered years ago in TAS. Tam Henderson reviewed LAST enthusiastically in Issue 20 and Dave Wilson verified the improvements from Stylast by measurements in Issue 32. It's still true, and the LAST people are still here. These are indispensable products for the vinyl listener."

Michael Fremer, July 24 1992, Goldmine Magazine

" I use [LAST Record Preservative] on all of my valuable records and have had only positive results"

Larry Archibald, Stereophile, Vol 5 No 3, Spring 1982

"There is no question though about LAST [Record Preservative]'s ability to improve the sound of discs; as JGH described it, the sound becomes less mechanical and more like original tape--evidence enough that something did change when LAST was applied."
