After reading some of the comments, I didn't know what to expect, but it exceed all expectations. Only down side is the flavor of the day, sax from left speaker and other instruments out of the right. Not a lot of soundstage, but the dynamics and sound are amazing. -
Just one of the best in my collection, maybe the best! Open, airy, 3D, dynamic, very beautiful sax timbre. Don’t believe any negative reviews until you hear it by your own ears. It just can’t disappoint; it brings wow effect from the first notes. Another amazing Analogue Productions record from 90s. I wish they were making more records like this these days.
10/10
System:
B&W Silver Signature 25 speakers

I keep hearing negative reviews regarding this reissue because of how Doug cut it low, and the reverb used, but I completely disagree. I think this record is great sounding, but it was also poorly recorded to some degree.
Overall, I think this pressing is dynamic, open, and very laid back soft sounding. Nothing jumps out at you, but also there is nothing missing from the mastering. It is totally balanced with great sound-staging. -
