I don’t know really anything about Robert Gretch but you gotta hand it to the guy Guitarrissimo is a pretty good name for a record. Unfortunately the title is better then the music. Most of the songs I wouldn’t sit around and listen to but I could see how some could be used for background music. My two favorites from this record is “Navajos” and “Via Alpha” so I’ll share “Navajos” for MP2000 Monday and throw up the other in the future.
Robert Gretch “Navajos”
you need flash to play the song

As any reader of this site will know i’m a fan of the Montparnasse 2000 label. This post and others (will break it up) will be kind of be a checklist / informative about the label. Part 2 is here and Part 3 is here
The first phase is done I have about all the basic info I have posted now. I will be adding descriptions, alt covers, links to songs, any additional info and links to buy these records online. If you have anything to contribute from a better quality picture to track listing to you posted a record for sale or shared a song on your blog and want me to link up or anything else feel free to leave a comment or email me. Any and all MP2000 discussion is welcome. Feel free to twitter/blog/facebook/email friends about this post the more fans the better.
I will be adding links to where you can buy these records. I’m just linking up the sites I do not stand behind them if it’s an ebay auction check their feedback if its another look into their past deals I’m just trying to help fans out. If you want me to link up your MP2000 record just contact me but i would appreciate if you contact me after it sells so i can pull down the link. Any reader that notices a sold record let me know I want to keep links up to date but I don’t plan on checking them after I add them to the site
