I talked about the greatness of Japanese reissue series a lot but this time, the US Pressings!I sometimes get these Blue Note UA Blue White Label pressings and always blown away by the pressing quality and the sound quality especially MONO.Visually scuff is there but not that bad…I should say minimal.And the sound…wow, GREAT!These Blue…
I love this album.Tony Fruscella AtlanticThe jacket design is just beautiful. The black and white picture, font design and color…everything is beautiful.The tracks in the album are also great, classy titles and great sessions.But somehow, this album is not that popular…Here in Japan, Warner Pioneer Japan reissued this title in the mid 70’s with P-7535A….

Hello,
I look at the beginning for the 1st dry cleaning but unfortunately I made a mistake because it is a USA reissue on masterdisc and it must date from the end of 70 – beginning of 80. The mastering done by their 1st sound engineer Mr Kong, normally that must make beautiful music. Only downside that I paid a little too much for it, but that’s my fault because I didn’t watch the matrix well. Again the problem with the USA editions – it’s the same (absolutely! same!) catalog number…
