Not enough stars, quite frankly best the best vinyl record ever made

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, April 17, 2024 by Wised I thought the Patricia Patrcia Barber's Cafe Blue one step release was the best vinyl ever produced. This one step pressing Of Getz and Gilberto's masterpiece is a religious experience. I own the 33, the 45 and now this one. The 45 RPM version was extraordinary, this one has simply left me without words to adequately describe it, it is simply the best vinyl record ever made. Kudos to Impex Records, a great achievement indeed. Compared to the previous 45....incredible bass, even better soundstage, more transparency, more air, more delicate rendering, more, more, more! I thought the difference would be subtle given the original 45's excellence, it is not! You feel like if you were right in the studio's recording booth all those years ago! Every mouthing of the sax, the ring of the top hat, Astrud softly singing in your ear, it's almost sexual in the most intimate way....WOW

A Masterpiece

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 24, 2024 by Chris They say that nothing is perfect; I say, if God has His hand in it, perfection is possible! "The Lark" is a true masterpiece and God placed in the mind of this composer and the hands of Jascha Heifetz a means to perfection! RTI did a great job on this one!

Nice pressing!

Posted Thursday, March 21, 2024 by William Taylor This is the way a piano should sound. Obviously, whoever recorded this knew how to accomplish the tricky challenge of recording piano. Thelonious never sounded better. This is a fun record and I'm pleased to have the definitive version of it.

Posted Thursday, December 28, 2023 by RS What an amazing release of one of my favorite albums. Lenard Cohen’s songwriting along with Jennifer Warnes voice is just magic. I do not have any other Vinyl versions to compare, but I cannot see this can be any better. Highly recommended!

simply amazing

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, September 2, 2021 by Juan This has got to be the most amazing sounding record I've got, it is miles and miles ahead of everything I've got, the quality of the pressing is simply outstanding, plus the printing of the sleeve and the outer record sleeve, which by the way would love to buy aparte for my other records, complete a much better package compared to my MOFI Kind of Blue which came scratched, I now want more impel records.

THIS ONE PLAYS MISTY FOR ME

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, April 8, 2021 by S. Madon Thoroughly enjoyed this top-notch recording. It sounds as fresh, original and innovative today as it did back in the 1970s when it was recorded. The TYT offer up a veritable variety of jazz tunes, plus an original Blues composition, played with great emotional depth and maturity. The recording quality is superlative, pure audiophile level, reflective of the high standards now expected from the original Three Blind Mice (TBM) and this Impex Records label. A+++ Buy it before it's gone! Seriously....do it! You need this record to correctly show off your music system.

Posted Monday, August 26, 2019 by Mike Outstanding! Great music, great delivery. Impex has no competition at the moment! 45 rpm adds that little extra flow and separation compared 331/3 rpm!

6 Stars for Sonics

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, July 8, 2015 by Cold Shot I bought the original Three Blind Mice CD years ago. I had never heard a Redbook CD sound this good. I decided to buy the vinyl box set based on the sound quality of that CD. The sonics on these 45rpm vinyl pressings are off the charts! I'm not a huge jazz fan but the sonics are so compelling I keep playing them over & over. These are Japanese Jazz All-Stars - not Coltrane/Monk/Davis but the music is upbeat and certainly qualifies as top flight jazz composition. Sonics (6 Stars) Music (4 Stars)

ESP done right

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, February 22, 2014 by Anonymous I played the original MONO everyday for an entire summer while reading from 1pm to 3pm during the summer of 1992 and know how the records should sound. I didn't have high expectations as I KNOW the original and how it sounded. However, the IMPEX is so close to the original MONO I was shocked! On side one, there is only two differences -- there is that 'Blue Note Van Gelder' hard stereo separation of instruments and on Mood, you can clearly hear someone snap their fingers which is a faint detail on the MONO original. However, it's what else that was inside that made me just fall back on this one:

Inside the album is a typed letter in which IMPEX APOLOGIZES FOR TWO NON-AUDIOPHILE ARTIFACTS ON THE VINYL! I have NEVER seen a reissue in which there is a letter of apology for artifacts. I need to come to the defense of IMPEX....THERE ARE NO ARTIFACTS!!

Buy with confidence that this is the way it should be!

Posted Saturday, August 31, 2013 by Anonymous Ok, first of all I'm a big fan of the Impex re-issues. When I saw this offering I jumped on it, thinking of 70's nirvana. While waiting for it to arrive, I pulled out my original and after a playing knew they would have their hands full with this one. The re-issue is an improvement in every way, they even lightened the cover artwork. The record is dead flat and completely void of ticks and pops but lacks all those audiophile attributes. I have to wonder why they picked this album for their catalog. I am certain that Impex did their best with the source they had to work with, but if I had to do it again I would gladly pass on this one, but your opinion may be different though I think the better your system the more you will be disappointed. Crank up the volume and party on......

Overlooked masterpiece with stunning sound

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Jordy Impex is one of the best small audiophile reissue labels out there, and they've put out a masterful pressing of Blakey's overlooked second lineup of Jazz Messengers, featuring Jackie McLean among others. A sort of uber-text for the transitional genre of hard bop, this record mixes originals that gaze at the future of hard bop as well as standards that look to the past. There is no flash, as in the work of David, Adderley, Rollins and so forth - this is low key, even "punk rock" in its aesthetic. McLean is Tom Verlaine to Sonny Rollins' Jimmy Page. It is not surprsing that the jazz musicians from this era with more flash and "out there" playing retained reputations outside of the jazz world - while this lineup of Jazz Messengers is often overlooked. And the pressing, mixed by Kevin Gray et. al, from the original analogue masters in thick and glorious mono - absolutely stunning, unprocessed - one of the best 33 rpm reissues I've ever heard of this era of jazz.

Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2013 by Anthony This is the second Impex record I have purchased, Miles In Person was the other. If these are any indications of their catalog, I would say this company is a resounding success! This record is dead flat and perfectly quiet with absolutely no noise of any kind. It beats my original in every way with astonishing fidelity. Even if you don't like Monk, and shame on you if you don't, you will love this record. WOW!

Posted Thursday, March 22, 2012 by Scott Since this recording has been around for a little more then 50 years if you're buying this then you are probably acquainted with the content. This latest incarnation sounds amazing and the records are flat, quite, and clean. Get one before they're gone.
