Reviews
I agree with the commenters that mentioned that, despite this probably being a loveless release from a digital master with no mastering credits, it actually sounds quite good. Definitely not 'hot' or analog sounding but just really solid. The sleeve is nice as well and has an old school vibe (nicer than e.g. the BN Classic sleeves). Considering the lack of affordable all analog versions of this album, I consider this one of the best placeholders (mono, sounds good, nice cover, affordable) of an album that needs to be part of a serious jazz collection. The insert is nice for people that like to frame things.- Well done Rhino! The recent Stereo versions are excellent but this is even better. I could have done without the paper only inner sleeve but it still came clean and after Degritter treatment plays clean too. Very thick heavy and flat and defect free. Mastering wise this just has more life to the playing than the stereo which is abit softer. This isnt hot in anyway its just MORE. I also like the tip on jacket used. Excellent stuff!!
Amazing sound, super loud and clear. If you pass trough this, don't hesitate.- Does it come with ant-static inner sleeve? three more words
It’s a shame this mono re-ish has earned such a consensus of glowing reviews, and yet there is no discernible mastering credit. More often than not, the deadwax of later Rhino reissues show an etched signature or a company’s stamp. Could someone please double-check his/her copy for clues, obrigado.
So glad I bought this. It’s a no-brainer at the current price point.
Does the "BG" in the run-outs designate Bernie as the cutter?
Just listen to this the first time with a dedicated mono tone arm, absolut killer sound and way better, way more powerful than the normal stereo system. If it is mono, use a mono system, the difference is BIG.
Sounds amazing, but especially the insert with images of the front and back of the sleeve blows me away. If only there was a more direct way to enjoy the sleeve art...
Goodness me, this is a really nice sounding vinyl reissue.
