First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 10-inch "nonbreakable" 33-1/3 rpm vinyl LP, Capitol L-299, near mint vinyl in a very-good-plus glossy cardboard jacket with small brown tape ghost to verso. No, Yma Sumac was not a Brooklyn waitress named Amy Camus, as scurrilously rumored at the time. Rather, this South American singer of extraordinary four-octave vocal range, who began as a folk singer in the more traditional mold, was taken under the wing of arranger Moises Vivanca, decked out in exotic garb, and promoted in North America as an "Inca princess," which (though duly attested to by the government of her native land at the time) could presumably be equally true or untrue of any indigenous native of that continent. The pair formed a leading part of the "exotic" musical movement of the 1950s, seeking some kind of liberation from stultifying Eurocentric musical norms, a demand which was soon to find an outlet in "rock 'n roll." Catalogs $120. Here reduced from $45.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 10-inch "nonbreakable" 33-1/3 rpm vinyl LP, Capitol L-299, near mint vinyl in a very-good-plus glossy cardboard jacket with a browning strip of old, nitrate-based "Scotch" tape along bottom edge of jacket, front & back. The rumor that she was really a Brooklyn waitress named Amy Cumas appears to have been scurrilous. Yma Sumac was in fact the South American singer of extraordinary vocal range who was taken under the wing of arranger Moises Vivanca, decked out in gold-coin finery, and promoted in North America as an "Inca princess," which could presumably be equally true or untrue of any native of that continent. The pair formed a leading part of the "exotic" musical movement of the 1950s, seeking some kind of liberation from stultifying Eurocentric musical norms, a demand which was soon to find a more adaptable outlet in "rock 'n roll." The slightly lesser jacket of two now on offer. Exotica. Catalogs $120; here reduced from $35.

First Edition
No Binding. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 10-inch, 78 rpm "single" record, Capitol 7-1819, white label "For Demonstration Purposes Only," Yma Sumac (Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chávarri del Castillo, 1922-2008) performing Moises Vivanco's "Birds" and "Najala's Lament" . . . "Vocal with Orchestra." Condition of the vinyl (we think it's vinyl, rather than shellac, at this vintage of about 1951) is "very good" but no better, with numerous light scratches visible, though none deep enough to be felt. No cardboard jacket; it's in an after-market white paper sleeve. The smaller (7-inch), 45 rpm version of this release is reasonably common; this 10-inch, 78 rpm version is not, and we've never seen another white-label disc jockey "Demo." As packaged by her husband and guitarist, Sr. Vivanco, the Inca princess with her unique four-octave range was surely the queen of 1950s Exotica. In 1946 the government of Peru formally supported her claim to be descended from Atahualpa, the last emperor of the Inca. She adopted the stage name Imma Sumack (also spelled Ymma Sumack and Ima Sumack) before she left South America for the United States. The stage name was based on her mother's name, which was derived from Ima Shumaq, Quechua for "how beautiful!" -- though in interviews the songstress reported it meant "beautiful flower" or "beautiful girl." Which means that rumors she was actually a Brooklyn waitress named "Amy Camus" were mean-spirited at best. This 78 rpm record now reduced from $45.
