Don Cherry ‎– Brown Rice

Sound quality is excellent. Fans of Journey in Satchidananda should enjoy this album. Feel very lucky to have found this pressing in great condition.

The sound of this EMI pressing is unreal. One of the most dynamic and beautifully arranged sessions I have ever heard. Also musically this is my favourite Cherry pick. Recording, mastering, pressing and music, all perfect.

Sounds great ! Slightly disappointed about the fact that it came out a bit wraped...

My copy sounds great. Really quiet. Not sure if there was paper bits upon opening...because I clean records off before I play them.

Dimpled vinyl and off-center on one side. This smells like a United Record Pressing hack job. Not sure why UMG would dump this kind of junk out there instead of giving it the kind of attention that its Blue Note imprint has been giving titles for the 80th anniversary release series. A real disappointment.

I can quite honestly say this is one of the BEST albums I've ever heard period.

It sounds ok, but 3 copies I have inspected didnt look that great. Perhaps a rushed job

This preordered LP just arrived yesterday and I was quite psyched. The music is fantastic, the pressing excellent. Far out Don Cherry at his very best. The only turnoff for me was the A&M Records sleeve design and liner notes. I would have much prefered the original EMI design - it suits the music and connects this record visually to the (also excellent!) Organic Music Society. The liner notes in this A&M Records version by Stanley Crouch stay on the surface of the music. It's a shame that these music critics can only explain rational constructs and systems but fail to dive into the music. Deep music like this deserves to be heard and lived, not just listened to and analyzed.

Anyone know anything at all about the mysterious Ricky Cherry?
