I've listened to an original before -- this has a little less murk to it and a bump in clarity. Not a drastic difference, just a bit of brightening in the corners.
Got it, but side B of the first record is very scuffy -- seems to play okay but I am nevertheless going to ask Resonance whether a replacement of that disc can be procured.
Ah ok, I only have heard the Arnhem stuff so this is even further expanded. Most stores here are not carrying the set on vinyl but I think JRC is. Hope there's no scrum to get it!
those Black Lion digital releases are strange. They also did a Jym Young Trio that's pretty cool -- would be nice if they'd put this stuff out on CD with proper attribution, but maybe that's asking a bit too much!
Well, I only have qualms about gatefolds when there's not extra music or some super-deluxe look. It's a thin gatefold, nice printing but that's about it. I think an insert could have covered it.
They wouldn't both fit on a single album so I assume this is either a 2CD or an edited set. Both are great of course.
For Losers is okay. I listen to Kwanza quite a bit and dig it.
