    Yes, this is pure fire. Absolutely stunning dynamics.
    Highly Recommend

      This sizzles. Fine job by Kevin Gray per usual. This one really is essential for anyone looking to pick up jazz. The cymbals and flutes and vocal harmonies all just ring out so clear. The music, of course, is brimming with soul. Gateway drug.

          Solid sounding vinyl. I'm deep into my obsession with everything the Mizell Brothers produced and this is a masterpiece example of their output. Soul. Jazz. Funk. Other examples. Black Byrd by Donald Byrd. Also Donald Byrd @ Montreaux on Blue Note. Johnny Hammond. Gears. and more and more.

            Wow.... amazed by the flat, non fill free vinyl. Unusual for this series.
            The recording is one BN best and the mastering is on point.
            Highly recommended even if a Tone Poet edition could be better still!

                Nice record. Nice copy. Poly-lined inner. No hype sticker. Word.

                  Can anyone confirm if this is an AAA vinyl release. I don't see a hype sticker on the photos, saying mastering from the original tape.

                    Great music, great pressing. Have not heard the original or any 1th presses, but cant imagine it sound any betyer. Came in a papersleeve, which always is a gamble! After a wet clean its really silent as well!
