Sinter - 493 (2013 - a parallel reality)
Travel through time and parallel realities, once mastered, becomes a routine, but occasionally surprises are to be expected.
One of such surprises happened during a trip to find a rare 78 rpm by
Julie Joy, which was originally published by
Sinter in 1956 and numbered 493.
Standing on a street in the residential quarter of
Kandahar and looking upon a public clock made me aware that, instead of the expected year 1956 it was clearly displayed that the year is 2013.
A few steps away from the clock, squeezed between a sweets shop and an opium smoker's den, was a small record shop with a Brazilian flag above the entrance and a sign
ALAMOS RECORDS.
The shop was full of vinyl albums, mostly compilations of rare Brazilian tracks, re-issued, as the owner, an elderly gentleman with a strong Portuguese accent, explained, during the last decade.
As if he knew what I was looking for, he pulled out an album and said that it is a re-edition of the original
Sinter 78 rpm from
1956, remastered using the newest military technology and re-printed as a 78 rpm. It was wrapped in a transparent plastic sleeve with a portrait of
Julie Joy printed on the plastic.
That was it. I left the shop with this recording in my hands asking just one question more:
Who gets the credits for this nice surprise?
