What a stunning record, mix of free and contemporary (as of 1973) jazz, but what a terrible mix! Someone needs to have another go at this and reissue it. That mix is probably as good as it will be, unfortunately. There's an interesting writeup on all this in the new Wheeler biography (excellent). It was an early 8-track desk and there was strange placement of players and lots of bleed-through between tracks (Oxley in particular). The first mix was a disaster so Kenny brought Bob Cornford in to rework it, which did miracles apparently. From recollection the Incus LP mix has the same issues. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 24 Report Posted March 24 I listened to the Stereo LP of “My Favorite Things” in the mono/stereo 2 LP package. It has taken me a long time over many years and many spins on cd, SACD and LP to really appreciate the disciplined focus of this album, and why it was a success and why it is a landmark release and was so responsible for Coltrane’s stardom. Now on to Ahmad Jamal “Emerald City Nights (Live At The Penthouse 1966-1968)” Elemental Music cd 2 Quote

I don´t know what was wrong with RVG on that day, since Horace Silver´s piano sounds outright tinny. That´s not RVG´s famous piano sound..... Yes the J. Griffin vinyl sounds great for me 9 hours ago, Chuck Nessa said: 👍 💗 Quote

I thought I was being overly critical as a result of listening through my new headphones. The first track in particular is a bit of a mess. Still, a great record. Quote
