  • Jazz Legends' Intimate Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    CadgalsisrBayigrx14 December 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Gorgeous Tone Poet, incredibly quiet pressing, ideal for an intimate live performance. Not as easy to get into as other TPs, but absolute legends performing together here. A must-have for any jazz enthusiast.

  • Top-Notch BN80 Sound Quality

    4 out of 5 stars
    XortbMabz19 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Great pressing. 180g vinyl, spotless. The sound is absolutely fantastic. The sax is upfront and rich. The bass is natural yet powerful simultaneously. It's got that pure mono recording vibe. One of the top (if not the top) in terms of sound quality from this BN series. Fun fact: the BN80 logo is on the back of the sleeve, meaning it's from the 80 series, even though it wasn't officially released as such. A few months later, a more premium edition came out in the Tone Poet series. The thin cardboard sleeve stays true to the original design, with an antistatic inner sleeve. The version sold in Spanish stores included an 8-page collectible booklet about the artist and the album.

  • Worth Swapping for Sound Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    guxawumu22 March 2025United States🇺🇸

    My version works fine. Shame it's not uniform. Still, it's definitely value swapping a defective one, since the sound quality is amazing in every way.
