MARJONO & HIS BOYS
" Salina 6"
LP Record, produced in Singapore, approx. 1969
This record I bought just a few weeks ago in Amsterdam. at the Waterloo-plein market.
When seeing it at first glance, I know already about its contents, because I am already the owner of "Salina 7"
So I knew already singers are not on this record, despite the image on the record sleeve, just a nice girl who is enhancing the appearance of the record.
The instrumentals on this record are from well known songs, vocalized before by many artists.
Hearing this record it gives a kind of "Empty House" feeling, as used to hear these songs so often by all those excellent singers.
Instrumentals are at their best when special new compositions are made for them.
"Suratmu" is played in a more lively style, like the Indonesian bands with Zaenal Arifin. In this case a sax is added which was rare in Indonesia, but more often used by those Chinese ballroom orchestra's on the mainland.
Still I am quite satisfied with the record, it is in new condition like never played before, nice colored glossy cover and on the A-side 25 minutes of music, thanks to Philips minigroove technique.
