    Is there anyone out there who would be willing to scan a high resolution image of their OBI and add the picture to the listing? My album didn’t have one and I’d love to have a copy of it. Thanks!

      Now this has some beautiful sonics, and Ive heard my share of Three Blind Mice recordings.
      Right off the bat Midnight Sunrise wakes you up with a sucker punch of dynamic display, and I havnt regained sensibility for what Ive heard till its over. I was not expecting something like this at all from a cheap and unknown album, but the label has once again rewarded my blind purchase.
      Certainly not the best they ever did and not for those with little to no sensibility for funk and electronic Big Band Jazz, but underrated is a befitting moniker.
      I can barely imagine this sounding any better and the Japanese vinyl is as you know oh so silent.
