The reissue is another splendid job from Fresh Sound.

Th CD includes one additional track which makes its first appearance on disc. It's 'I Cried for You', a feature for Bobby Jaspar!

Brownie: is this the usual LP transfer or did they use some sort of master tape for this reissue.

Good to see you posting again!! Hope all is well in Paris.

Reinier, no mastering credit on this Fresh Sound reissue. Since they managed to include an hitherto unreleased 'I Cried For You', I would tend to think they had access to some sort of original material.

I am very much aware that Fresh Sound has used needledrops for some of their reissues. This 'United Notions' does not seem to belong to that category.

The sound is excellent to my aging ears -_-

And the music is beautiful.
