Thanks Chuck, I was just thinking about grabbing a Stereo version I saw. I'll wait for a mono (hopefully under $100 somewhere, or $50 for that matter).

Isn't Audio Fidelity the label for both, though? Perhaps Clifford's is a mono.

Got my mono for about $4. Sold it for about $200. It be somewhere in Japan now. Wish I had it. I have a cassette I made and the crappy stereo Fresh Sounds reissue. I do still remember the sound.

Sorry, mine is stereo. I now wish it weren't!

Ben Tucker - Baby, You Should Know It (Ava). Not profound, but a nice little album (with Larry Bunker on vibes and Victor Feldman) by my fellow Georgian.

[Enterprise Server]

Found a nice vinyl copy in a record shop in Berkeley.....

The piano/drum perspective is what I'm talking about. Elmo and PJJ were locked in and the stereo version lessens the effect significantly for me.

[clifford_thornton]

That makes sense.

They sound great together from what my ears have told me.

I bought this not long ago for $20. Had been curious about it for a while but I guess other things gained in priority until this year.

This is all good to know. I'll look out for a mono - wonder what the Japanese pressing (Toshiba?) sounds like?

All the George Russell talk made me want to hear my battered copy of this. A really nice version of the sextet (Don Ellis, Dave Baker, Dave Young, Chuck Israels, Joe Hunt) and a couple of cool/funny Carla Bley tunes.
