Lot #67: The Chuck Mangione Quartet - 1972 Vinyl LP - Rare Canadian Pressing

Classic piece of early 1970s jazz history: The Chuck Mangione Quartet self-titled studio album. Released in 1972 under the prestigious Mercury Records label, this specific copy is a highly sought after Canadian pressing. This album captures Chuck Mangione at a critical artistic peak, jsut before his commercial music pivoted toward a pop oriented soind. IT presents a beautifully organic, tight quartet performance that remains a must have for jazz and audiophile collectors alike. Cover: photograph by Lou Marinaccio captured Mangione playing his flugelhorn. This album serves as a landmark because it features the iconic track "The Land of Make Believe" For deep-dive collectors, the original inner credits famously state that Gerry Niewood plays the "Tuba". This is widely recognized in the vinyl community as a typo; Niewood actually played a "Tubo" (a Latin percussion shaker instrument). Auction Note: All lots are from a single estate collection.
