FAQ

What does direct-to-disc mean?
The musicians play each side of the record in a single pass, and the signal is cut straight into the lacquer without tape. Edits or overdubs are not possible.

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the limited 1981 German first edition on Jeton, pressed by Pallas. A 180g reissue only followed in 2003.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) for the record means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) for the sleeve means light wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Charly Antolini records?
Yes, for example Charly Antolini – Knock Out, Charly Antolini – Countdown, Charly Antolini – Drum Beat, Charly Antolini – In The Groove. More titles are in our Jazz collection.
