Do you mean the mix is poor?  Or some other aspect of production?  

On my Evidence label version of this, on track 1 Reggie Workman is more prominent in the mix than than Billy Harper! Also the room in which the album was recorded seems fairly dead/claustrophobic. I've never lasted all  the way through.

And yet, this one (and the one after it, the last two on the album)) is ON!

 

Although, yes, mix still off.

But, it seems to improve on the fly. The playing, though, is full frontal burn all the way. I'd like to know what the recording order was, both to trace the evolution of the playing and of the mixing.

OK -- I need to listen again from this point on.

I strongly urge VSOPphiles to check this one out: https://www.discogs.com/The-VSOP-Quintet-Five-Stars/release/6130818

not released outside of Japan until 2014 (but released there in 1979!). No electronics, but otherwise a lot more "contemporary" (i.e.: less intentionally "retro") in terms of compositions and performances...everything, actually. IMO the "hottest" of the VSOP records.
