[78-L] Info wanted GENERAL Records G-10 Belgian Congo Denis-Roosevelt Expedition

[Benno Häupl]

Thomas, 

I sold 3 complete sets (1 Gerneral and 2 Reeves - with booklets) in the last 
couple of years on eBay. I kept a Reevse album with original 18p. glossy paper booklet. 
The identical General booklet was printed on very bad quality paper. 

As for musical content, both albums contain the very same couplings, but there are 
more details on the Reeves labels.  Actually, there was also a Belgian issue of 
this album. Forgot the name of the label (I think it was DENIS-ROOSEVELT). I had 
individual records from it that I sold along with some 750 other African 78s on eBay 
over the last 3 years. 

I also have a copy of page 27 from an undated GENERAL catalog presenting this album 
on 3/4 of that page.  

"DARK RAPTURE - Stirring Rhythms and Unusual Melodic Tunes as Played and Sung by 
the People of the Great Equatorial Forest of the Belgian Congo. Taken from the Sound 
Track of the Denis-Roosevelt Expedition "Dark Rapture".  

This GENERAL catalog page also quotes a lengthy paragraph from an undated TIME 
MAGAZINE record review. 

Get in touch with me offline if you want scans or anything else.
