200 Gram QUIEX Super Vinyl Profile.

Highly collectable release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered at Half Speed from the original source master tapes. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step, then pressed on high quality virgin vinyl, one sided at 45 RPM, for the highest possible audio quality.

Classic Records used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics.

In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find - especially in this brand new, still sealed condition.

The records are new and still sealed in their original plastic sleeve. Perforation is completely intact.Corners are sharp, colors vibrant and spines are straight. QUIEX sticker on front is torn, otherwise, there are no flaws or blemishes. 100% mint.

Review: Though Bennett's greatest successes came from his relaxed delivery of pop songs, he has more than just an affinity for jazz singing, as his 1999 Bennett Sings Ellington: Hot and Cool has so ably demonstrated. This reissue captures a 1959 meeting between Bennett and Basie, at a time when the pianist's band was at a peak, with a fantastic rhythm section, tight and powerful brass, silky reeds, and skillful arrangers like Neal Hefti, who could make the most of those resources. The Basie band was recording with a variety of singers in the period, from Sammy Davis Jr. to Billy Eckstine, but Bennett may have brought the most enthusiasm to the meeting. A great band singer, he mates perfectly with the horn sections on the up-tempo numbers, whether it's the standard "Chicago" or some obscure show tune. He can make a classic ballad, such as "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," sound fresh, and like the Basie band, Bennett can swing at any tempo. This CD is a fine companion to In Person!, the contemporaneous Bennett-Basie collaboration done for the singer's label, Columbia.
