FAQ

No. The album was first released in 1965. This copy is a later German reissue on MPS/BASF with catalogue number CRM 604.

What is Rokoko-Jazz?
Cicero takes pieces from the Baroque and Rococo periods, first plays the themes close to the original and then improvises on them with his jazz trio.

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.
