Algerian Music Festival Records

I was utterly delighted to find a rare collection of vinyls while rummaging in the attic today, finally managed to feel grateful for the "mess" upstairs. The collection, titled 3ème festival de musique Andalouse - Alger 1972 contains 8 volumes. The jackets was very dusty but the vinyls were all in good shape.






Each record has a performance by a different country; Egypt, Turkey, Libya to name a few.


Can't wait to get back to the states and hear them.

  3. Hello,
    I posted last year three (all I have) of the volumes on my blog:

    Look under labels.
    In total there should be 9 volumes. Any chance to share the volumes which I don't have. Would be willing to post them on my blog.
    I'm based in Germany, but partly also in the US.
    Best

  9. I am really sorry, I promise I will get them when I go back this Christmas. But you will have to tell me how to convert it, otherwise I can just live stream it for you both.

  10. If possible, wave or flac files would be perfect. But if this is too much trouble mp3 with a 320 bitrate would do it too in a satisfying way. Very much looking forward to the files. Though I'm still searching for the original records reguarly I was not able to locate any. The two earlier editions of the festival one can find occasionally.

  21. We as a whole realize that high heels make your party outfit, so put in the hours on your bicycle this pre-winter and your size 4 high heels will look staggering for the Christmas festivities.
