I grabbed this used recently and boy was I impressed with the dynamics, clarity and warmth of this pressing and performance. Highly recommend. -
Completely improvised on a broken piano, while dealing with constant pain from his back, what an achievement this record is. -
-
This is just great music by Keith Jarrett. I bought it few weeks ago and I am happy to have it in my collection. If you love Keith this is a must have ;) -

This is definitely the best place to start with Keith, perfectly capturing his style, worts and all. Ive never been a super fan of Jarrett, mostly for his more meandering solo expeditions that don't ever seem to reach a satisfying conclusion, but thankfully this is a well rounded solo effort. Love side 3 especially. -
Great sounding record with the acoustics of the concert hall well audible. Only downside is that the inner grooves really don’t sound so good. -
This is by far the most severe trainwreck, I've ever seen on discogs concerning the German pressing variations. I'm well aware that the transitional phase between mid 1976 and mid 1977 with all the changes made on the labels (ECM logo, rimtext, labelcode, 33M) and the change of pressing plant from Pallas to Phonodisc are indeed confusing. Even more when there are mixed label designs in one issue.
But here's a pro-tip: the only true constant in all this mess is the rimtext.
The changed rimtext on ECM records beginning with "Alle ..." was introduced in January 1977. You will NOT find a single ECM record released prior 1977 with the rimtext beginning with "Alle Urheberrechte...".
One could argue against all this with the introduction of the labelcode in September 1976 and that no indication of a labelcode automatically means that an ECM issue was released before 1977. However, every single ECM records that was released in very late 1976 still have the old rimtext (even ECM 1084 and ECM 1088, released in January 1977). So, in the end, it's a little bit more likely that they forgot to print the LC on several Köln Concert issues released in early 1977 than printing the new rimtext couple of months before it first appeared on other ECM releases.
