Ritenour Vinyl Gem
5 out of 5 stars

In my view, GRP's output can sometimes feel a tad 'cramped' when it comes to soundstage. However, this particular record is an exception, it's almost flawless. The balance and soundstage are superb, and Lee Ritenour's mid-80s albums are true treasures for any vinyl enthusiast who appreciates modern jazz, even if they're not as widely known or familiar to some music fans. That said, snagging it for $9 was an absolute steal...

Some GRP albums, from what I've heard, have a soundstage that feels a tad 'cramped', but this one's an exception—it's almost flawless! The balance and soundstage are fantastic, and Lee Ritenour's mid-80s albums are like hidden treasures for any vinyl enthusiast who loves modern jazz. They might not be as well-known or familiar to some music fans. But hey, snagging it for $9? That was a real steal!
