Jazz Vinyl Delight
5 out of 5 stars

This is an amazing and thrilling album to listen to … it's easily one of the most diverse, captivating, and soothing jazz records in my collection of over 500. The vinyl is pressed incredibly well on super thick vinyl, the label says it's 180g, but without weighing it, it feels more like 200g. The quality is top-notch, though I do have a bit of a warped crackle on the first song of side two, aside from that, it's a fantastic pressing.
