Notes
The album was intended as an experiment using musical styles Brubeck discovered abroad while on a United States Department of State sponsored tour of Eurasia, such as when he observed in Turkey a group of street musicians performing a traditional Turkish folk song that was played in 9/8 time, a rare meter for Western music. Columbia president Goddard Lieberson took a chance to underwrite and release Time Out. It received negative reviews by critics upon its release, but despite this, it became one of the best-known and biggest-selling jazz albums, charting highly on the popular albums chart when 50,000 units sold for a jazz album was impressive. It consequently produced a Top 40 hit single in "Take Five", composed by Paul Desmond, and the one track not written by Dave Brubeck. The cover art is just as important as the LP itself featuring specific artwork created by S. Neil Fujita best known for his covers for CBS Records, which introduced abstract art to jazz LP packaging.

Sounds incredible. Now...what year is this? I found this for $19 in a Toronto used records store.- This release is more than 60 years old and it sounds fantastic! One of my best records in my collection. I own a copy in pretty good shape, so much fun to listen.
- Edited 9 days agoEchoing other comments here but this is practically perfect. Ever so slightly off centre on side b but apart from that, great stuff. Was a bargain too. I wish all new LPs were like this.
- Really nice release. My copy is clean and sounds clear, open and dynamic. I think one of my best vinyls i own. No surface noise or crackle. If you dont own one version of this album i would recommend this one.

as the Terre Haute mono pressings have a T in the matrix and a 3 on right lower, I suspect the backwards 3 stereo version goes with the matrix run out that has the T in it, as well. Kinda makes sense to sort out stereo/mono and which sleeve to put it in....one man's hypothesis.- Edited 13 days ago

I am noting a discrepancy between two stereo versions. In my detective work I am thinking the backwards 3 jacket "belongs" with the vinyl that is stamped in the matrix that includes the T. the number and T both point to Terre haute. input please on this. referencing Time Out (LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Reissue, Stereo, 180g, Gatefold) 37023
Very good pressing ! Sound is amazing ! Only for 14€ !referencing Time Out (LP, Album, Reissue) CS 8192
Sounds about as good as my 1959 OG! An excellent player copy so you can save your older pressings from use.- This release is still available for purchase directly for $40: https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/105103/Dave_Brubeck_Quartet-Time_Out-180_Gram_Vinyl_Record
- My copy is flawless from front to back. No audible or visual defects. The disc is centered and flat. And like others have pointed out, it sounds amazing.
I would have easily paid twice the price for this had it been under a notable audiophile label. The value to quality ratio is incredible.
