Just like the record

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, January 19, 2022 by Brian VanPelt All of the instruments are very clear. The drums are on the right, the piano in the middle, and the trumpet and sax are on the left. The bass seems to be in the back, somewhere between the drums and the piano. The piano, while clear, is also a little soft, while all of the other instruments are quite vivid/sharp. The underwhelming piano is something that I believe all Rudy Van Gelder recordings had. This is the same situation with the record as well. It's not that big of a deal and, if you listen to enough Blue Note albums, you get used to it.

If you know the record, then you know what it sounds like - now imagine that without surface noise. I don't remember for sure about the record, but on this SACD the soundstage is quite spacious and 3-dimensional. The piano seems further back, while the brass and drums seem quite forward. There were times when the music seemed to stretch beyond my speakers.

Pick this up quick as they sell out fast.

Is it just my copy?

2 Stars
Posted Wednesday, April 21, 2021 by Brad I’ve come to expect a great deal from Analogue Productions, and they always deliver. Unfortunately, my copy of the 4 disc 45rpm cut of this album is crippled with crackle. Each of the 8 sides have heavy crackle on the lead out, which usually starts within the final song on the side. There are quite a few of the songs that play as advertised, and remind me what this could have been. I have between 100 and 200 AP albums in my library, and they are all great. Except this, which after one play found its place in my garage sale pile.

The Definitive Digital Version...

5 Stars
Posted Friday, January 16, 2009 by Jamie Tate This is a beautifully mastered disc. It's absolutely the best digital version I've ever heard. The Classic Records HDAD was very good too but this version is even beyond that. It also and makes the more commonly available (and compressed, bright and mono-ized) RVG mastering obsolete.

There's something special here. The cymbals are finally tamed and the overall tonality is thick, deep, wide and rich. I can't say enough about this SACD. It's truly stunning!

Great job Kevin and Steve!
