    This thing plays and sounds fine (I mean, it sounds BETTER than fine, really), but...seriously, this is the most visibly/perfectly warped (like bowl/frisbie shaped) record I've ever seen.

      High quality vinyl. Nice and quiet with the occasional light pop or tick. Excellent sound and, of course, fantastic playing. I'm definitely happy with it.

        Purchased new. Warped vinyl that interferes with ability to play without repeating segments. A2 ends abruptly. Very disappointed and will return if I can.

          What great dynamics and almost flawless pressing. Besides a pop or three, the mastering is excellent. No distortion at all, although perfectly possible with dynamic trumpets, flutes and clarinet. I have multiple Mingus records, not all to my taste, but this one hits the mark for me. Bernie did a great job in mastering this!

            I have no complaints about this one. Great sound and great music. Sounds much better than my Mosaic CD set, although I believe that's in mono and this is stereo. Only minimal tics and that was right out of the box with no cleaning.

              Yes, seekers, track A3 is only 3:50, not 9:27 as noted. I suspect a Cut & Paste error. Carry on and good Luck.

                Good pick for those who like the first version of the album released last year. High audio quality however mine came warped. A must have for Mingus collectors
