I've always liked the Chet with strings record.

I was joking there, somewhat. Chet's string album does get universally panned and cited as one of the worse examples of the genre.

I bought it, listened to it for a couple of days exclusively, and remain satisfied, extra-satisfied, actually, with the new material. It's fresh! Probably the only reason for a purchaser to be wary is if they have a reactionary phobia against strings in general, and/or of pop songs not played as revolt-bop.

 Sounds enticing!

IIRC I paid around £15 for mine from an Amazon seller in Germany.

I've grown so vary of those vendors (selling non-declared CDRs, wrongly described/graded used items, not reimburseming properly even if the error's theirs ...) - but looks like the best option in this case, alas. Hip-O being Universal-owned one would expect them to have proper distribution though ...

Finally got this and spun it. The new mastering is an improvement. I get what Jim says about the writing for strings. . . but they just sort of hang as curtains behind Bird for me, and Bird plays like Superman. Just an amazing sound and such a flow of ideas, faucet turned all the way UP.
