Based on my listening setup, which includes a custom-built U-Turn Orbit turntable with an integrated Pluto amp and an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, paired with Edifier R2000db powered speakers, I'm sharing my thoughts. I'm no audiophile, but I'm working on it! The record sounds fantastic and has a lot of energy to my ears. These Tone Poets are top-notch all around! As for the music, McCoy Tyner was an artist I struggled with for a long time. But the more I dive into jazz, the more I'm becoming a fan. This isn't beginner-friendly jazz, in my opinion, but those softer moments? They sound incredible!
Received my copy today, and man, it's fantastic! The sound quality is top-notch, with a clean, flat press—no annoying pops or clicks to be found. I've got quite a few Tone Poet Series records now, and honestly, I just don't get all the whining and moaning. What more do you want for around $30-$40? Yeah, the inner sleeves are trash, but big deal—just swap 'em out for a new one after you give the record a good clean. Look, we should be grateful these are being re-released at all. So quit your complaining and start enjoying the music. Cheers!
I'm really into these 'Black B' label '77 UK pressings that you can still snag for a fair price. They usually sound fantastic, and this one's no different. It's a bummer they didn't include heavyweight tip-on jackets, though.
This album boasts a solid collection of tracks with a hint of exotic flair woven throughout. It's a pretty neat listen, genuinely pleasurable. Hailing from a late 60’s Blue Note recording, this session stands out with a bigger horn ensemble than typical. However, in my opinion, RVG seems to have a tough time nailing down a sharp mix on the horns when they all join in together. The horn section gets a bit muddy when everyone plays at once. When the action is less crowded, the mix shines much better, but all in all, it's not the clearest of recordings - it's quite a raw and unpolished mix. This Tone Poet version is likely as good as this record will ever sound, given the mix, and the pressing itself was solid with no excessive surface noise or anything.
Blown away by the musical performances, but the pressing quality left me wanting, particularly on the B side. It's unnecessarily loud, and yes, even after cleaning both the record and the needle. What a shame!
