    Great pressing! A welcome reissue of something I'd never heard of (I found it on Bandcamp). These guys rip it up! I get a strong Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers vibes from this record! Also, beautiful solid gatefold sleeve. My only issue is that it could have been cut at 45 RPM as it is a single album over 2 discs, and needs a flip every 10-15 minutes. Either way, I'm glad to have this in my collection. Play it loud!

      Bad crackles and pops all over the second disc. I've needed a replacement for every single one of this series I've bought - 4 so far. Music is great but QC has been patchy IME.

        Stunning reissue mastering is well done on 2 lp's for optimum tracking area. Thank you BBE keep on!!

          Dead silent pressing and quality sound ! One of my favorite japanese spiritual jazz record, with a modal and latin flavor.

            In my opinion one of the absolute best Japanese jazz releases ever. It rarely gets better

              Quality pressing ! Very nice cover also - would like to order all these just because the covers are so cool :) No problems with records, straight flat and good sound!
