Lee Morgan – The Sidewinder

Only took Blue Note 50 years to correctly spell Bob's name on the front cover.

Just found this in NM condition at Goodwill!!! Good day.

heard the title track last night. trumpet sounds very present and realistic through a teac ud501

I was eying up a copy of this in my local secondhand record shop. I couldn’t resist any longer and purchased it for $30NZ which I thought was a bargain considering it’s $68 new in JB Hi-Fi.

Got it home, played it and was very disappointed. It’s louder through the left speaker and I have to adjust the balance knob to accomodate. This is the first record I’ve had to do this for.

Otherwise, Jazz is boss.

This sounds wonderful to me. I could listen to the opener forever. It’s all quality.

Sounds fantastic. Some light surface noise between tracks but not during them. Overall a fantastic sounding record. Have not compared to other pressings, so can't speak to those, but this one sounds great.

On My Rig, These BN Music Matters And Definitive 45 RPM Titles Are Simply Amazing. The Fullness, Stereo Imagery And Separation Are Beyond Words... I Can't Hear it Getting Much Better This... The Notorious RVG, You Did It Again... This Quintet Comes To Life... Absent Of Any Flaws Whatsoever!!!

Poor Bob Cranshaw! Sounds decent enough for a mid-tier Morgan record. Would love to hear what RVG or Kevin Gray could bring out of these tapes tho.

One of the best sound quality in a record that I own. I wish all my records sound like this, rich, clear, articulate without having to put put more volume.

lee morgan in da room! great pressing with great dynamics
