Contemporary Records

The Stereo release absolutely kills it.

So crisp, dynamic but warm.

Haven't compared to my mono RSD copy but this one is really impressive. Drum solo on Tin Tin Deo is a highlight for me.

Incredible presentation all around.

Plaid had some sleeper copies for $24. If still available, don't wait.

These vintage copies are getting more popular.
Aka prices are rising.

Glad to see the OJC reissue campaign.
I'll lay back buying vintage copies for the new reissues but I added one more good OG copy this week. Still somewhat affordable @$20... 1957 first press.
