Basie's Beat
Usually don't comment on label or pressing variance or spinal conditions or anything like that, but this one was found mono and sealed. When opened, it turned out to be a yellow-and-black-label DJ copy, which I found strange. And the pressing was just kind of noisy in general, not poppy-clicky noisy, just...bad vinyl noisy, which is an experience I've often had over the years with Verve's of this vintage. Oh well, it's a good enough record to override all that, because as they say here: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=11154&aid=2674
So, yeah!
