Got sealed for less than $20… arguably the best jazz album of all time. Sounds phenomenal on my setup, and the attention to detail from cover to gatefold is immaculate. Couldn’t have asked for a better listening experience… indubitably immersive. -
Edited 7 months agoStunning remastering and awesome quality vinyl.
Deep and detailed soundstage that is swirling in unison like looking through a kalidesope.
The musicians are very unified in their playing. -
Everything is top notch - as usual for the Acoustic Sounds releases. Thick glossy gatefold, reliable antistatic inner sleeve for the plate. The sound is flawless in every aspect. Absolutely quiet surface.

my copy sounds amazing, no surface noise at all and the recording sounds like the band is in the room with you, packing is minimal and high quality -
Edited one year agoMy copy had several deep scratches near the center label, on both sides, big enough to see in a dimly-lit room. Really disappointing. And also a reminder to me not to wait too long to open new records when I order them (I own several O.G. copies of this album and should have been listening for comparison's sake alone, but I ended up jamming out to 'Black Unity' this summer instead...). Ordering a replacement and hoping I was just unlucky on the first try. -
This issue is terrific. The package quality is level AAA. The sound is great, no noises at all. It's a really good deal for sure. -
Amazing cut (if you like this type of music). I have listened to the CD for decades and - wow - the LP is just a completely different experience. It is a smorgasbord of sound - underpinned by a pulsating rhythm. Avant guard but based on modern jazz - it never gets out of hand. Tremendous soundstage - detailed bass, treble and mid range - so much easier to pick out the instruments than on CD. Bravo Ryan Smith.

Incredible reissue of a previously almost impossible-to-find album!! Amazing sound and presentation.
