    First time on vinyl....so why is it missing two songs that were on the CD? What's the point if you're not going to do it correctly.

      This is a most beautiful album and pressed with much care!

        …Same here: slight nasty wobble towards the end on both sides of the record.

        Sonically without any effect.

          Was a bit disappointed to find mine had a slight dish and wobble. Normally I wouldn’t mind, but at the price of almost two LP’s I feel this is unacceptable.

          Sonically I really enjoyed the album.

            I have some minor clicks and pops on side A. Mastering is fantastic of course. Bedouin is my favourite song, dramatic and smooth at the same time...

                It looks like it was just repressed. New stock is available on Blue Note. But is it the same ID than the 2020 repress in 2023 ?

                    Every time I listen to BH I enjoy him more and more. San Francisco was one of my favorite records of late and this one does not disappoint either.

                      A Top 5 Tone Poet IMHO. Fantastic sound, material, lineup, and session. About as close to perfection as you can get both musically and mastering! Grab the repress asap before they are gone again.
