Agree with Facelift3 in that the superlatives are unwarranted.

LP is flat and glossy without any factory marks. Housed in anti static inner sleeve, no frills presentation but that's not why we're here.

An ok pressing. Mix is great and not overly bassy as some have stated. Semi frequent moments of bright shrillness. Surface noise is definitley here, pops and clicks throughout on both sides.

To me, this is worth having and is a better representation of Scenery than any hi res version availble through the streamers. Not without faults though as others have stated.

Ordered a discounted “damaged” copy from eBay for $14 and it arrived sealed and perfectly fine lol. Although this isn’t one of my favorite jazz albums or even in my top 20, this is a good record. That being said this pressing sounds great for the price. I’m sure the 180g feels sturdier but this plays great and sounds really good! No complaints here add me to the “this is a great pressing” gang

Sounds very good but I would stop short at some of the superlatives people are giving it here…
If you want to hear a really good jazz pressing (drums especially), have a listen to blue note classic edition of moon rappin’ by jack Macduff.

Great sound, one of the best records that I own, dead silent and very very high quality pressing.

Sounds great with no issues, but the pressing is very flimsy.
Techtronix May 9, 2023
Great music, great pressing. Not the best but OK. Lightweight vinyl and piano strikes sound a but tinny and doesn't resonate as well as those found on three blind mice records. Good easy listening piece

This is incredible. On par with the TBM reissues of Yamamoto Trio and Isao Suzuki. Dead silent and perfectly mixed and mastered.

must have in your collection! super clean sound. i think Cowboy Bebop was inspired by this album...
Vinylmeup Mar 26, 2023
Great easy listening Jazz record. The edition itself is very good. Great pressing, one of the best I own.

This album is phenomenal. Excellent clarity and dynamics on all instruments, especially the piano. We Release Jazz are doing great work
