Stuart Hawkes (Metropolis Mastering) and Optimal Media, one word for both of you: bravo!

Perfect pressing, great mastering, I had way more fun listening to this on vinyl than on streaming (Tidal Master).

dynamics and mastering and musicianship is first class on this EP.
Andy.Sargeant Mar 30, 2022
I revisited this album after I ordered Kokoroko's new album. This album is so good with minimum noise with very good dynamics. I recommend listening to this album both with a speaker and with your headphone. Personally, I enjoyed the latter as sound separation was better for me with my headphone (I may need to change my speaker? lol) HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I can only further applaud the quality of this release, at least of my exemplar. It a zero-noise rich-sounding delight.

Beautifully recorded and silent vinyl. The brass is very rich sounding.

a great set of music. Really enjoy the EP and it is a great pressing as well (no noise on mine, dead flat). As many other reviews have mentioned, just terrific stuff.

How many times do I come back to this album so many times I fall in love with it. I wish everyone that every jazz vinyl sounded with such a full sound of bass, drums, guitar and a well-mixed, expressive brass section. Vocals and keyboards also great. Everything has its place here. Well, this album sounds brilliant !!

Sound quality is alright! Not hearing a big difference with the streaming version I'm afraid. The artwork from the cover is nice.

How about a CD release of music made for far...

My copy came extremely filthy. Full of dust-like particles, but very hard to remove/clean. Does anyone have the same problem? I've bought it as new, sealed in factory shrink wrap.
