Personally I am really enjoying it. Covers don't matter much to me, and I actually like the dragon Jimi drew as a kid and understand why it was used (The original cover is reproduced in large format within). The original stereo mix presented here is possibly in error--it is not a new one by Grundman but from 2010 with possibly a little tweaking. That said it sounds really good. I have had the mono mix before, it is very interesting to me. And the newly released bits and pieces are very interesting to me, and sound GREAT. There was no way I was not going to get this, and I'm glad I did pre-order it. I find it interesting that the sets are numbered and I got #00420. If you stream (I don't) you should be able to preview it.

I first saw him with Conny Bauer together with his deceased brother Johannes Bauer at the 'That's Jazz' exhibition in Darmstadt in 1988.
