Donald Byrd – Stepping Into Tomorrow (1974)

This is a fantastic soul fusion album. VMP did a 45rpm version years back and it is great. That was from a digital source I believe so an AAA version would be nice.

Agree. I love this LP. I've purchased a couple of used copies that were among the most visually beat up Blue Notes I've seen, telling me that a LOT of people have loved this LP over the years. I had the VMP and thought it sounded excellent, but it was a real pain to switch my vintage Thorens to 45 RPM, and the record was fetching a lot of money on the secondary market, so I parted with it. Very happy to get a nice clean KG cut for a cheap price--even if I have to wait another 8 months for it.
