Nice! So, did you get it?

Haven't heard of the label before, but it seems very Muzak/Seeburg-esque, yeah. Emil Cadkin did some arrangements for Customusic, it seems.
It seem they're still active as a company. There's some info on their website.

Cool! What does the labels say?

le_tomval · September 16, 2018, 08:54:37 AM

The date of the test pressing, so we can identify that these two albums are from 1973.

Crabbed a few Penta Flowers! Archaic Impressions and Audiovisual are the stand-outs so far. Others have some good stuff in them too, or they may be growers.

Cool!

Mr · September 20, 2018, 04:56:18 PM

What beauties! Congrats on your haul

milliondollars · September 24, 2018, 10:49:02 AM

great to see those Penta Flowers

need to investigate on the Archaic Impressions which looks really interesting to me. so many interesting ones that i need to hear still...

also got one recently: To-Days Jazz by Enzo Scoppa Ensemble

this one is really good in terms of jazz! reminds of some old Kudu, CTI or Blue Note records actually.

apmnut · October 20, 2018, 02:47:10 PM

Congrats, Eleventh! Can't wait to hear 'em when you rip 'em!

Holy Guacamole!

I just bought 9 Chappell 78s. There are some names I recognise - Ole Jensen, Robert Farnon, Roger Roger. Unfortunately I have nothing to play them on
