2021 Repressing of the 2014 Analogue Productions edition. Same catalog number, and distinguishable by 2021 year denoted in the center label.

Deluxe high-gloss tip-on album jacket
"200-gram pressing by Quality Record Pressings"

Features: 200gram Deep groove pressings, just like the originals where there is a deep groove that appears to be cut into the record label area of the disk, the result of the die that was used in the old presses in the ‘50s. Original tip-on jacket facsimiles with the original thick cardboard stock. The monos are pressed with a flat-edge, no groove-guard flat profile, just like the originals.

    Another guy here hearing drop outs on A2 and B3. Such a pity since the mastering quality is excellent, and I mean really excellent. As another reviewer pointed out, Analogue Productions could've invested in any other master instead of on this "damaged" one.

      Sounds great to me, a typical mid 50s mono sound. Disc is flat, well centered and the jacket is superb.
      Very pleased.

        If this is your first Analogue Production Prestige reissue, then I have no doubt you’ll love it.

        However, if you already have a few in your collection like myself you might notice that this one simply isn’t on the level many of the other in the series are. A2 and B3 suffer from (what on my system sounds like) intermittent drop outs.

        This is certainly a first for me, and makes me wonder; is all analogue always worth it? Even at the expense of uninterrupted playback?

        In this listeners humble opinion the answer is no.

        Simply put, if I had a blind fold on there’s no way I’d think this was pressed by Analogue Production.

          This sounds so good, I couldn't believe it is in mono. The instrument separation is better than a lot of my stereo records. Worth every penny!

            anybody else hear what seems ot be tape damage or the result of a bad lacquer in the first minute of track 2? i had 2 copies and both of them have the same issue!

              This is one of the best sounding records in my collection. Nothing but praise.

                It’s good…really really good. If you’re reading this review then you probably should just buy the record. Amazing line up, fantastic sounding press….just buy the damn record.

                  I know this is a Miles Davis album but Milt Jackson’s vibes is so extraordinarily good your attention shifts to him as soon as he introduces himself. The sound on this release is second-to-none. It’s like they’re there in front of you even on a modest system.
