I think the original recording quality might also be compromised for some reason. Both versions I have sound similarly muffled. At least with this you have those hallowed GH initials etched in the runouts.- I don't get it, this is literally one of the greatest jazz guitar recordings, and there is not one decent pressing that you can get on the market. Not only is the music's quality degraded (the drumming sounds fizzy and dead, for example), the amount of noise and weird defects just makes it not worth it. Good luck finding a good quality OG mono
Absolutely avoid this pressing. Guitar sounds distorted on almost every track. Way too bassy, almost no top end. Surface noise throughout. Very disappointed, as I usually have great experiences with OJC.
