Pete Rugolo CDs with Maynard Ferguson

PETE RUGOLO AND HIS ORCHESTRA, INTRODUCING ... / ADVENTURES IN RHYTHM -- Collectables COL-5893

I just couldn't believe it when this CD was released back in 1998. They took Pete Rugolo's first two albums on the Columbia label, Introducing Pete Rugolo and Adventures in Rhythm, and they put them both on a single CD. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time these LPs were ever placed on CD commercially. Maynard is featured prominently on both LPs, so this is a super compilation CD. You can hear him screaming away in the stratosphere on several tracks.
COPY #1. Just in, this one is almost like new -- NMINT+. It's $14.00.

PETE RUGOLO AND HIS ORCHESTRA, ADVENTURES IN RHYTHM, OLP #29 (GERMAN RELEASE) -- Membran Music 223224--203

PETE RUGOLO AND HIS ORCHESTRA, RUGOLOMANIA / NEW SOUNDS -- Collectables COL-6092

Maynard is featured prominently on both LPs, so this is a super compilation CD. You can hear him screaming away in the stratosphere on several tracks.
COPY #1. This copy was FACTORY SEALED when I got it, but the front of the jewel case had a crack, so I replaced it. Still, this copy is MINT. It's $17.00. SORRY! THIS COPY RESERVED FOR A COLLECTOR, 9/15/23.
