Ellington's Piano Brilliance
5 out of 5 stars

The soundstage is absolutely incredible, and the wax is perfectly silent. This is a great slow-paced Ellington album that really shows off his piano talents.
WaxTime Records: Subpar Quality
1 out of 5 stars
XJWewmJune 11, 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧
It's highly probable that WaxTime Records are sourced digitally and not remastered from the original tapes...they might even be taken from CDs. These companies are oversaturating the market with vinyl made from subpar sources, cutting costs because the European copyrights for the music have expired. The quality is subpar and will only hike up the prices of genuine audiophile reissues.
