Audiophile Gem
5 out of 5 stars
fihete-vxunoze8 November 2025United States🇺🇸
In my opinion, this is definitely one to track down. It's like a modern audiophile pressing, the sound is that good. The stereo image is expansive and deep, with instruments that are crystal clear and full of detail. The vinyl I have is completely silent, no noise at all. It could easily serve as a demo disc for this genre.
Brilliant Quiet Pressing
5 out of 5 stars

This is an exceptionally quiet pressing with fantastic dynamics between all the instruments. You can really pick out the crisp and warm tones of Paul Desmond’s alto sax; the chilled and calming strums and plucks of Jim Hall’s guitar; the powerful and groovy beats of Connie Kay’s drums; and the rich and cozy sounds of Eugene Wright’s bass. Now, my copy had a tiny bit of a warp, but it doesn’t affect the sound quality or how it plays. All in all, it's a brilliant pressing!
