James Last - Trumpet A Gogo, II (Vinyl LP, Album, RE)

This is a vibrant instrumental easy-listening / big band album from German bandleader and arranger James Last, part of his popular “À Gogo” trumpet series. Known for lush orchestrations, prominent trumpet leads, and danceable rhythms blending jazz, Latin, and pop influences, this volume captures the upbeat, swinging sound that made James Last a global easy-listening icon in the 1960s.

The front cover features a bold, high-contrast pop-art style portrait of a woman (with dramatic red background, black silhouette outlines, and striking eyes and lips), evoking Andy Warhol-esque vibrancy. The title appears in white lowercase lettering on the right side: JAMES LAST TRUMPET A GOGO 2.

The back cover continues the red-and-black theme, listing the tracks divided into Front and Back sides (typical for James Last medley-style albums):

Front Side

1.  Happy Music

2.  Begin the Beguine

3.  Skokiaan

4.  La Golondrina

5.  The Donkey Serenade

6.  Guantanamera

7.  Hava Nagila

Back Side

1.  Caravan

2.  Carmen ’68

3.  La Mer

4.  Un Poco Rio

(Track titles are presented in a mix of English, Spanish, and transliterated forms as shown on the sleeve, with some variations like “La Colondrina” or “La Gondolina” appearing in photos due to printing/angle.)

A groovy, nostalgic gem from the heyday of easy-listening orchestras — ideal for fans of Herb Alpert, Ray Conniff, or mid-century instrumental pop.

The vinyl is housed in its original laminated picture sleeve, with track listings and credits printed on the reverse. Please expect some wear and tear on the sleeve.
