Note about this album and the Music Matter Jazz Release: This is a fantastic sesssion and album that was not officially released by Blue Note when first recorded.  In fact, the first release came from Japan in the form of the venerable GFX series of Blue Note reissues or releases.  Music Matters has done an amazing job with this recording and this is a rare offering for an out of print MMJ title in the 45rpm format.  Refer to Discogs for release history.

A special offering of authentic Music Matters original release test pressings.  These records are the same as the initial releases pressed at RTI created at the same time as the original.  Each title comes with a white "test pressing" jacket and white label featuring the Blue Note Catalog number, A/B sides and inner sleeve.  Amazing to listen to, these are also destined to be a true collector's record.

Each album is in sealed, new condition.

This is a great opportunity to own a Music Matters Jazz record that may be long out of print and selling for hundreds of dollars.   Music Matters records have set the standard as the greatest Blue Note reissues as these records offer amazing sound, clarity, realism so you can enjoy the amazing qualities and stunning dynamics.   These records are produced from the original master tapes and employed an all analog manufacturing process.  This may be the last opportunity to acquire an MMJ all analog "mastered from the original tape" Blue Note record.  More and more records from other companies are being released from a digital hi-rez file manufacturing process, even when they say "mastered from the original tapes". 

Each test pressing was pressed at RTI and is of the same quality as the original MMJ release.  All test pressings were inspected and subject to the same stringent quality control checks.  Please refer to the Music Matters Jazz website for more information.

About Test Pressings:

Test pressings are historically the first pressings made or "stamped" and are intended for music critics, promotion and colleagues in the industry.  For some, the test pressings are highly desired as these are the first vinyl copies to be pressed by a "record stamper" ensuring higher fidelity. These test pressings have the same quality and sonic fidelity as the original Music Matters record, the first ones to be pressed off virgin "record stampers" at the time of production.
