Notes
Originally recorded at Manhattan Center N.Y. on December 21 & 22, 1960.
All tube re-mastering at Mastering Lab of 1960 Vanguard Classics title on numbered, limited edition, virgin vinyl.
My grading:
NM: Virtually brand new
NM-: plays like new but a few pops and ticks show up
NM--: still a great sounding LP but just a bit more surface noise
VG+: Surface is more noticeable and on multiple tracks
VG: Surface noise throughout but does not take away from presentation
VG-: Well- now you'll notice the noise very easily but the disc still has all its sound
G: A bit of a tough ride now
G-: buckle up
All discs are distortion free: i.e. all loud climax hold their own and do not break up
