[CP 313 CD] Camille Sauvage; Musique Concrete and Electronique, Fantasmagories, Delirium Tremens, 7 Drums Concerto +

June 2025 release; long in the works (apologies Larry!) double-disc set covering three impeccable Library LPs issued between 1974 & 1976 on Montparnasse & Mondiophone by the storied French bandleader & Composer Camille Sauvage, presaged w/ bonus materials as issued by Music De Wolfe (on 78RPM 10" & LP) in 1961 & 1973, respectively.
