RARITY # 29

FRANCY BOLAND ENSEMBLE
Columbia C 41 368 (EP)       Germany, 196?

 This one is for El  Porco Rojo and comes from a crate of old EP that Onxidlib has received recently.  Expect more rarities and goodies soon!
What to say about this one. I probably repeat myself (old age!) but IMHO the Clarke-Boland Big Band is one of the (if not THE) greatest modern big bands EVER. 

Onxidlib did a superb job in ripping and cleaning this EP. Nice crisp sound!  Enjoy!
