While as an arranger, producer, and songwriter Jack Nitzsche was among the most important behind-the-scenes figures in American pop music of the 1960s and '70s, the few albums he released under his own name are (for the most part) offbeat experiments in orchestral arrangement and composition, with Chopin '66 being the most curious, at least on the surface. For Chopin '66, Nitzsche took ten pieces by the Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin and gave them new arrangements that staked out a middle ground between the traditional symphonic approach and a sound that had more to do with contemporary pop music. While this sounds like a recipe for potential disaster, the results are actually quite pleasing; Nitzsche resisted the temptation to try to add a rock & roll groove to Chopin's melodies, and while guitars and trap drums occasionally emerge in the mix, Nitzsche approaches the music with affection and respect, and this album resembles Nitzsche's later film scores or the epic-scale arrangements he created for Neil Young rather than, say, "Nut Rocker" by B. Bumble & the Stingers. These recordings have a light and graceful touch, and Nitzsche's arrangements make it clear he wasn't trying to dumb down Chopin for the kids (even if most of the tracks come in at under three minutes). In fact, if Chopin '66 has a failing, it's that it was probably too sophisticated for its intended audience while too streamlined for classical buffs, but the album is still an experiment that rewards careful listening, and it's dated very little in the 40 years since it was first released.While as an arranger, producer, and songwriter Jack Nitzsche was among the most important behind-the-scenes figures in American pop music of the 1960s and '70s, the few albums he released under his own name are (for the most part) offbeat experiments in orchestral arrangement and composition, with Chopin '66 being the most curious, at least on the surface.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The front cover has a tiny, inconspicuous,  metal ring in the upper left corner, indicating that the album was the property of the radio or broadcasting station.

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged  (BARELY VISIBLE)

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.  (BARELY VISIBLE)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
