    I am not a full analog pressing purist and neither do I claim to have ears trained to tell the difference between well mastered digitally sourced records vs AAA pressings but this sounds too good to be a sub-par digital source. It’s either hi-res digital copy/DSD or maybe cut from an analog tape.

    The reason I say this is because of the incredible depth, soundstage and stereo separation this reissue offers. Side A and C has more than 27 min of music yet sounds amazing.

    I have almost always bought MOV releases for any albums post 90s as they are imo the best label to do reissues of digitally recorded albums. This is my first time buying a jazz record from 70s on MOV and I am blown away.

    Also this album is an absolute gem. I love every second of it.

      Excellent pressing as per usual from mov.
      Sound is clear if not a bit sharp at times.

        Which source was used for the mastering - assume not tapes as it's not mentioned?

          beautiful repressing , very highly recommended most of this series is excellent in fact. the only ones i didn't like were Agharta (used an inferior remixed master from the 80's or 90's ) and Get up with it (the attempt at remastering just made it sound harsh)
