I'ts the 5th Element !

Auteur-compositeur, chanteur, organiste et professeur de musique, Idrissa Soumaoro est une personne extraordinaire.  Extraordinaire de gentilesse, de sympathie, de modestie et de talent. Il est le père de l'intemporel succès "Ancien combattant", dont son premier enregistrement, en 1968, fut volé dans les tudios de Radio Mali, puis vendu pour qq cfa et éditer (en 45t) en Côte d'Ivoire. Repris en 1974 par Balla et ses Balladins et popularisé par Zao en 1978, Idrissa ne touchera jamais un franc de droit d'auteur sur ce morceau, et ce, jusqu'à ce jour !!!

Author-composer, singer, organ and music teacher, Idrissa Soumaoro is an extraordinary person.  Extraordinarily kind, friendly, modest and talented. He is the author of the timeless hit « ancien combattant » which was first recorded in 1968 in the studios of Radio Mali. The recording was stolen, sold for a few CFA francs and edited (en 45t) in Ivory Coast. Repris in 1974 by Balla et ses Balladins and popularised by Zao in 1978, Idrissa never earned a cent of copyright on this track, and this up to day !!! The receord that we propose here was recorded in 1978 with the young blinds from the school were Idrissa was teaching music (he still teaches there nowadays). The orchestra’s name, the Eclipse, is a metaphor (sun/moon, day/night, blind/non blind). It is also a piece of history as it is Amadou and Mariam’s first recording !!! In partnership with a German institute, this record was given as a gift but never sold on the market. And it seems that most of them have been lost or destroyed during the revolution in 1991… Words are really too poor to describe the musical miracle of this recording. Some records are essential. This one certainly is. It contains musical, instrumental and lyrical flights. Completely psychadelic by all meanings of the word. A devastating organ all along both sides  (played by Idrissa), a fabulous guitar with rock and funk tones (Amadou, completely off his mind on A2), an explosive rythm, an enchanting voice (Mariam), and sometimes a pure manding sauce(A3). The top is probably the fist track on B side. First, a long wild instrumental part, completely funky and psyché, complètement funky et psyché, powerful drums and guitars, break with vocals, then an other crazy instrumental part. I am not sure that the musicians were just terrestrial...

GRADING For LP / NOTATION pour les disques :

NM (NEAR MINT) : Near perfect copy, played only a few times. At worst it may have one or two insignificant flaws.The highest grade I give for a non-sealed record / Disque et pochette impéccables, a joué seulement quelques fos. Au pire, une ou deux traces insignifiantes. C'est le grade le plus haut que je donne pour un disque non scellé.

EX (EXCELLENT) : Clean copy, there may be a few very light  surface traces/hairlines, it may plays with a few tiny crackles, cover has minor defaults. / Disque en excellent état, possibilité de très lègères traces ou lignes en surface, événtuellement quelques grésillement/craquements insignifiants, pochette avec défauts mineurs....

VG++ (VERY GOOD++) : A few light surface traces/scuffs, plays with very light crackles. There may be a few traces or marks on the cover, corners or slices slightly worn...Nothing serious but is not graded EX because of few minor defaults / Très bon état dans l'ensemble, avec de légères traces et rayures en surface, très légers craquements audibles. Quelques traces ou marques possibles sur la pochette, coins ou tranches légèrement usées. Rien de sérieux mais assez de petits défauts pour ne pas être classé EX.

VG+ (VERY GOOD +) : Played a lot, will show signs of handling, has surface marks and scuffs, plays with light crackles or light surface noise background, no serious scuffs, no serious crackles. Cover slighty worn (traces, light ring wear, dog eared, corner and slices slightly worn...) / Disque qui a tourné, visiblement utilisé, avec des marques et rayures en surface, des craquements légers ou un bruit de surface en fond, mais pas de griffes sérieuses, ni de craquements sérieux. Pochette un peu usée (avec quelques traces, cornée, coins et tranches légèrement abimés, saleté, ect...)

VG (VERY GOOD) : Used record, played a lot, has a lot of surface traces, marks and scuffs, crackles and a few clicks while playing, sometimes constants but not too serious,  no serious clicks, no jumps. Still enjoyable. Cover worn, may have corner and slices worn or damaged, ring wear, serious traces or little splits, slightly ripped / Disque qui a été souvent joué avec beaucoup de traces, marques et rayures diverses, quelques griffes et des craquements audibles, parfois constants mais pas trop sérieux. Ne saute pas. Toujours agréable à écouter... Pochette usée et défraichie, un peu déchirée, coins et tranches cornés ou abimés, traces sérieuses ou petits coups...

VG- (VERY GOOD MINUS) : Played a lot and more (but still playable), a lot of scuffs, marks, and traces, a lot of crackles while playing, sometimes serious, may have a few serious scuffs with serious clicks (no jumps). The cover is in a bad state, damaged... / Disque très utilisé (mais peut l'être encore...), beaucoup de griffes, de traces et de marques, peut avoir de sérieuses rayures , avec de sérieux craquements, ne saute pas. La pochette est en mauvais état, endommagée...

G (GOOD) : Indeed, not so good...but still alive ! Played while his entire life (and once again today !), or really ill-traited...A lot of serious traces, marks and scuffs, serious crackles and surface noise, serious clicks, may have jumps...The cover is really in a very bad state too, even no entire...Must be very rare to be proposed in this state... / En effet, pas si bon...mais encore vivant ! Utilisé durant sa vie entière (et aujourd'hui encore !), ou vraiment maltraité...Beaucoup de sérieuses traces, marques et rayures, sérieux craquements et bruits de surface, rayé et peut même sauter quelques fois...La pochette est aussi en très mauvais état, peut même ne pas être entière...Vraiment une rareté pour être présenté dans cet état...

POOR : ? = dead ? hard or impossible to listen to it...should be listed only in a batch. Cover ? better to say no more cover ! / ? mort ? difficile ou impossible à écouter...devrait être listé uniquement en lot. Pochette ? autant dire qu'il n'y en a plus !
