Duke Ellington's gorgeous 1958 release, already an audiophile stand out on Impex 33 1/3 RPM vinyl and 24k Gold CD, gets all the stops pulled out on this 65th Anniversary 45 RPM 2LP! Exclusive new packaging and all-analog mastering provides experiential and immersive musical engagement that has The Absolute Sound's Wayne Garcia calling it "A musical masterpiece, sonic knockout. What a record!" 5/5 music - 5/5 sonics

Impex is also debuting a super-quiet, super-limited-edition solid Indigo purple vinyl edition! Made in collaboration with our friends at the Los Angeles Orange County Audio Society in honor of their 30th Anniversary, we carefully selected vinyl chips, with help from the vinyl gurus at RTI, to craft one of the quietest color LPs ever made without dramatically changing the tonal excellence of the original recording!

Strictly limited to 3,000 standard black HQ-180-gram pressings, Ellington Indigos on 45 RPM HQ-180 will once again redefine definitive for this timeless jazz orchestra standard!
