    Larry Young took the Hammond B-3 to outer space on UNITY, a landmark organ jazz album that was at least a planet or two away from soul jazz. Highlights include "Zoltan", "The Moontrane", "Monk's Dream" and "Beyond All Limits". This is a Scorpio/Rainbo pressing, and it's not quite as rich sounding as the recent Classic Vinyl Series release, but it's a Van Gelder recording, and it sounds perfectly fine. My copy plays like new, nice and clean, with no noticeable surface noise.
