  • Vinyl Needs Cleaning, CD Shines

    4 out of 5 stars
    lufiaylerot84May 29, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This vinyl version is pretty good, but it definitely needed a thorough cleaning right after taking it out of the sleeve; seems like that's the case with most of them these days, particularly the gz or optimal ones... not entirely sure where the mastering for this one came from... the CD with the bonus Vocal Tracks and studio stuff really outshines this vinyl in terms of sound quality... still on the hunt for an original red DSM cover that won't cost me an arm and a leg... it's a classic album, just like it was when it first came out, but I do miss those outtakes and vocal tracks (they're absolutely hilarious and pretty wild for that time)... four stars for this vinyl release, five stars for the CD with the extra tracks...

    This vinyl version is pretty good, though it needed a thorough cleaning straight from the sleeve; seems like most do these days, particularly gz or optimal ones... not entirely sure about the mastering source here... the CD with the extra Vocal Tracks and studio content really outshines this vinyl in terms of sound quality... still on the hunt for an original red DSM cover that won't cost an arm and a leg... a classic LP as it was originally released, but I do miss the outtakes and vocal tracks (which are hilariously funny and quite racy for that time)... four stars for this vinyl release, five stars for the CD with the bonus tracks...

About Lester Young

Lester Young, affectionately known as "Pres" or "Prez," was a titan of jazz, renowned for his innovative and emotionally resonant tenor saxophone playing. Born in 1909, Young's musical journey began in his family's band, where he was taught to play multiple instruments by his father. His distinctive, relaxed, and sophisticated style revolutionized jazz improvisation and influenced generations of musicians. Young's collaborations with legends like Count Basie and Billie Holiday are legendary, and his solos often served as a transparent window into his emotional state. Despite facing personal struggles, Young's impact on jazz is immeasurable, earning him the title "President of Jazz." His legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in the history of the genre.
