This MFSL Anadisq 200 heavy vinyl re-issue is a piece of musical history (only 7500 were ever pressed of this long out of print masterpiece) and is the only audiophile pressing of this classic recording. You will be one of the last to own this Numbered MFSL Limited Edition Masterpiece.

There have been so few vinyl LPs produced over the last 5 years that you should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

Album notes Count Basie & His Orchestra: Count Basie (piano); Marshall Royal, Billy Graham (alto saxophone); Frank Foster, Frank Wess (tenor saxophone); Charlie Fowlkes (baritone saxophone); Joe Newman, Thad Jones, Wendell Cully, Reunald Jones (trumpet); Henry Coker, Benny Powell, Bill Hughes (trombone); Freddie Greene (guitar); Ed Jones (bass); Sonny Payne (drums).
Recorded at Fine Sound, New York, New York on July 26, 1955 and January 4-5, 1956.
It is wonderful albums like this that really benefit from the age of the CD. This was crying out for reissue, and apart from the cardboard sleeve, Verve have treated one of the Count's greatest albums with utmost respect. The lush swing of the Basie band has never sounded happier and the addition of alternate takes is a joy to behold. Listeners will be reminded just how good this band was as they stroll through "Sweety Cakes," add a sheen to Frank Foster's "Shiny Stockings" and rip it apart with Neal Hefti's magnificent "Dinner With Friends." A highly recommended album just bursting with joy.

Editorial reviews ...Count Basie never had a bigger hit than APRIL IN PARIS, and this album--starring the polished arrangements of Thad Jones and Neil Hefti--remains his best-known to this day. In fact, it has become an iconic summation of the Basie Sound....even a non-audiophile...can hear the difference in the Ultradisc...

Under the leadership of Herb Belkin, Mobile Fidelity remains a small, indepedently-owned company guided by the following philospphy: - reproduced music should sound as close to the real thing as possible ..........

The more you play the LP, your stylus will polish the grooves and actually improve the sonics of your Anadisq 200. It includes rice paper disc sleeve to protect each of these rare LPs. This recording is mastered from the Original Session Tapes. This Out of Print LP has all Liner Notes, Photos, and Artwork from the Original LP faithfully recreated.

A SONIC WORK OF ART. These Out of Print gems are the FINEST/RAREST of the audiophile LP market. The future of these collectibles is so exciting because each piece is a sonic work of art that will never be reproduced using this state of the art proprietary technology, high quality ingredients and attention to detail from beginning to end. The depth and dimension of the music is delivered back to you with all the dynamics and richness of the live recording session.

Dear music collectors, .......

I have been collecting music for about 25 years and as I wish to reduce my personal collection, I am offering various analogue and audiophile LPs & CDs for sale.

I have some particularly rare and out-of-print objects: many of my LP's and CD's are still FACTORY SEALED = OVP. I have verified and evaluated all used LP´s and CD´s according to the official collectors rating.

I will take any LP or CD back, if you are not satisfied with the quality of the item and disagree with my rating.
