Metheny's Breathtaking Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars

Amazing tunes, album and sound quality. Pat Metheny delivers his finest performance with breathtaking guitar pieces on Ornette Coleman’s Turn around and Open. My first Metheny record over 30 years back and it still feels as fresh as the day I bought it!
Prolonged Decline in Playback Quality

Prolonged decline! Amazing tunes .. I purchased this brand new upon its release and was genuinely pleased with the overall quality. It's seen very little full plays but over time, the playback on all four sides, particularly side 4, have become so crackly it's nearly unlistenable! Anyone else experiencing this?

Amazing audio quality! Music just hits different with the upgraded gear I've collected over the past 43 year. The recording and pressing are still top-notch! I pretty much have every Pat Metheny album out there.

Back in my day, I somehow ended up with every single Pat Metheny record you can imagine - as a band leader, as a side player, soundtracks, even bootlegs. All on cassette and CD, mind you. But this year, I've started collecting his vinyl records too. I'm making some progress, and I was really happy to find this pristine copy of 80/81. These guys truly create some incredible music, so improvisational, so much creative back-and-forth, and each musician just shines with their talent. The sound quality is amazing, and the pressing is top-notch.
