    Good mastering. Vinyl pressed without care. Bernie did some good work but the US plant presents you snaps crackles, pops and rips. There is enough on the first track alone to make me reject a double LP set in its entirety. Hopefully the BN Classic version is better and i get to grab one soon

      It's a shame to have the rights to such good music and to manage it so badly. 50 years ago they had the technology and today they do not have it? This record is worth releasing in the Tone Poet series and selling for $ 20, because we spent the other 20 for this mess.

        New: Blue note promo paper inner sleeve. Mostly, not totally clean looking, no obvious scratches, Copy has intermittent crispies and surface noise - enough to be slightly irritating. Disc is warped (a noticeable hop), but hop does not make obvious distortion. Love the music set, but needs to be turned up a lot on my system and then has some decent dynamics, not very vivid to my ears.
