Art Ensemble Of Chicago* – Bande Sonore Originale Du Film "Les Stances À Sophie"

My copy sounds very flat, no distorsions nor clicks/pops. Cover is very solid, inner sleeve is antistatic. Just perfect.

I have to disagree. My copy sounds sort of noisy and lacks clear definintion (yes, after cleaning). On the plus side, it comes in a polylined inner sleeve.. but the outer sleeve is flimsy and the record itself is sligtly rough to the touch on the outer edge.

Excellent pressing. Record is flat and dead quiet. The exciting and dynamic music just sings out.

Given the few reviews of the various reissues of this great soundtrack album, I thought I’d give my 2 cents: very nice pressing, no noise, just music. May not be analog sourced, but whatever the source the instruments are well defined, horns are punchy, bass is solid.

bootleg made in germany by "be jazz" , "be free", etc. they made a lot of silly boots.

Any comments on how this sounds? I’m pretty interested in picking this up.

just bought a reissue new on Souljazz records site.
or rather sounds of the universe
20£+shipping.

The label print quality is slightly faded. The trumpet sound has a rattle (sibilance?)when it hits the highest registers, and the record is a bit noisy - enough to qualify as a bootleg? Although good sound quality AND most of all, it doesn't have a matrix number in the deadwax. So it's a bootleg, and it has the same index as the main release it seems.

Bootleg. I find it highly unlikely that Universal who own the Pathe catalogue would go to all the trouble just to make 250 copies available.. I recon these come from the same source as the Rendell/Carr and Rendell/Carr/Ardley boots which have thankfully been banned from sale on Discogs

My version has a Wisconsin address w/ white/purple label, I guess it is not listed on Discogs yet.
