  • Cecil Taylor's A+ Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    Lcuwqcuh97311 August 2025United States🇺🇸

    Excellent pressing. Loud and upfront sound but not too harsh. Cecil Taylor would give it a thumbs up. A+!

  • Mislabeled Sticker Labels

    5 out of 5 stars
    Caup_Akveg14 May 2025United States🇺🇸

    The sticker labels on my version are for 'Time for Tyner' rather than 'Conquistador'

  • Cecil Taylor's Best Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    KiyzMyis6 August 2024United States🇺🇸

    This is a fantastic pressing, incredibly quiet and it sounds amazing. This album is what got me into Cecil Taylor. I own several Blue Note Tone Poets and Classics. This one outshines any of the Classics and matches the Tone Poets.

  • Promo Pressing Discovery

    4 out of 5 stars
    giodqaepaso91221 April 2024United States🇺🇸

    I stumbled upon this amazing record, and it's in almost perfect condition! The sound quality is fantastic! It's the same copy as the one shown, but on the bottom right of the label, it also says "9/21 sample copy. Not for sale." (In Japanese) So, is this a promotional pressing? I can't seem to find any promo version of this pressing on Discogs.

  • Silent Soundstage, Captivating Music

    5 out of 5 stars
    zemjdovoukzu812 April 2024France🇫🇷

    The pressing was dead silent, the soundstage's a sight to behold. The music's incredible, this band's just captivating.
