Sounded pretty good to me too…..whilst I don’t have the 2 King records to compare, I do have some of the standard GXK/F and the odd premium so will dig out and do some listening comparisons.

Tom, thanks for your comment! Yeah sure, you should compare them. GXF/Ks are also good but those premium ones are really superb. And…not many collectors outside of Japan know about them!
Great vid, love learning about the different Japan jazz pressings.
Cheers
Yeah, I am also having fun!
