Installed the Groovetracer counterweight and record weight to my RP3 today and am enjoying an improved sound that is fascinating. (I have my RP3 about as tricked out as it can be with TTPSU, Exact2, white belt, Groovetracer sub-platter and Delrin platter and now these two new parts). 

Decided to buy the Music on Vinyl reissue of this and the sound is awesome.

That's cool, jazzbo! :tup 

I have an older Rega 'table, the Planar 3.

But I don't have any of your tricked-out add-ons, though! ;)

Never realized this LP sounded this good as my vinyl playback has never been this good before! Always loved the cover and the music. Jerry was something else. Unique!

Also didn't notice until today that the tune "Rhapsody in Red" has a rhythm guitar part that sounds like Foreigner's "Hot Blooded". . . Cats Under the Stars was released in April '78. The Foreigner single was released in June '78.

I`ve never ever find any bad record of Phil Woods.

I've stated my case more than once here, but much latter-day Woods sounds artificially hot and "jazzy" to me. Why things came to be that way  -- if indeed they did  -- is one of the music's mysteries to me.

For an example of latter-day Woods at his cheesiest, check out this "Watch What Happens" from “American Song Book, Vol. II.”

 

A blatant piece of bebop pole dancing, IMO.

By contrast, here’s Woods’ handsomely shaped solo on Quincy Jones’ “A Sleepin' Bee” from 1956 (Mingus, bass; Herbie Mann, flute; Art Farmer, trumpet):

or this from Jones’ “Walkin’” (Woods begins at about the 7-minute mark, though the whole track is fine, Lucky Thompson especially):
