Sonny Rollins – Volume 2

Arrived warped but sound is clean. One of the better Blue Note 75s.

For their current market price, these pre DMM Pathe Marconi pressings are excellent value. This is a wonderful, warm and lively pressing of a classic.

I am really surprised, what a great sounding reissue. What amazes me most, is, that despite there are confusing references to being Stereo and Monaural, the sound is mono-ish. Since it is remastered from the original analog tapes, it is either one of RVG‘s historical stereo recording experiments (like the Mobley Curtain Call by Tone Poet) or special remastering art. Or simply wrong data on the cover. Some people seem to be confused, too, otherwise we would have a correct info here on Discogs. Anyways, this US reissue is a very interesting one to have. Recommended!

Magnificent sounding record - worth getting up every 10 minutes or so to change sides.

Looking for a jacket. If you encounter an empty one let's talk!

This DMM version sounds fantastic. I don't know why all the hate for the DMM releases. The ones I have sound excellent and better than BN75 versions.

Often characterized as ‘...timeless session and a milestone in jazz history ...’ this recording has it all; giant artists, fantastic performances and musicianship at extremes. This release is the best of Blue Note’s re-issues. Sublime sound and unbelievably engaging tunes.

I' ve what i think is a 1st pressing because it has everything as described , the only thing not matching is the (R) under Note only on the Side 1 (not present on the Side2) and RVG is printed in both side (not handwritten on side2)
Is it a 1st print or almost? Which is the quotation?

"Genuine 1st pressings of this release must have: 01. 47 west 63rd New York 23 address on both labels"

So images show 1st repress as sans 23.
