Reviews
- Flawless pressing. Temps are dropping up here in Winterpeg, and barely a whisper of static with just a dry brushing. It's a great recording. I'm really digging the dynamics on these VMP jazz records. This is the first time I've heard this album and it's fantastic. It doesn't sound too avant garde to me; just different enough to make it interesting.
- An excellently "pressed well" pressing. Great stereo separation, thick and quiet vinyl holding the rich low notes of Charlie Haden's acoustic bass. An essential landmark jazz album.
- Wow. Amazing work on an amazing album. Up until yesterday I have only heard this in Stereo, and mono is more pleasing to my ears. It doesn’t get much better than this. Fantastic work
- WaxTime concerns aside, this pressing sounds incredible. Very quiet, and overall one of the better sounding records I own. The cover printing is cheap, but the excellent bonus track is a nice addition.
- I had two different copies of this release, both had a bad scratching sound in the right speaker only at various points on both sides, as mentioned in another review. Unfortunate because it sounds amazing otherwise, and the gatefold cover and blue vinyl are really nice.
- Very light pops on Side 1, so light it's hardly noticeable. Mastering sounds great, very natural. The disc is flat and centered. No catalogue booklet in mine. I wish the jacket was heavy duty, like with other Speakers Corner releases.
Overall, this is great and I have no complaints.

Edifier R1700BT - Insanely good mono repressing. Love VMP’s work. Wish they’d go back to RTI, as this pressing is proof of their quality. The outer is thick and beautiful, although the plastic sleeve was a bit tight. On a general note, I wish VMP dispensed with the sticky fold on the plastic sleeves as they can get stuck to and damage the outers. I usually replace them with a Mofi, but have to lose or cut out the hype sticker. Not ideal.
- This is a great mono pressing—bright, detailed, and without extraneous noise (even during the relative quiet of Charlie Haden’s bass solo). I’ve loved this record since the first time I heard it, so I’m thrilled to have a high-quality pressing at such a reasonable price (compared to early pressings, anyway).
- I was hesitant about getting this one after auditioning on Spotify. It’s challenging jazz but it’s a “must have” so I took the plunge.
In the first few moments of Lonely Women there is a lead of just the drums and bass sounding distance and, because of this, almost thin/weak/disappointing until then the horns kick in commanding attention so firmly and right up front of the soundstage. You get drawn in to the layers and sonic texture … from a mono mix, no less.
“Challenging” on Spotify, thoroughly engaging and completely engulfing on a VMP LP.
