Cartridge Distortion Issues
2 out of 5 stars

Has anyone else noticed some distortion with this one? My copy's in perfect condition, but it's got this growly, peaking noise in certain spots. Should I maybe get a dedicated mono cartridge?
Misty's Trio Shines
5 out of 5 stars

While "Misty" is the standout track, the true gems on this album are the songs where Holmes and his guitar/drums trio get to extend their solos, offering a delightfully innovative version of "Summertime". Other notable tracks include "On The Street Where You Live" and "There Will Never Be Another You". This is an original mono pressing, boasting a rich and warm sound with impressive depth in the bass. My copy has some light surface noise on the first side, but the second side plays remarkably quiet and clean.
