If you're not familiar with this release, here's some additional information: "Although it appeared at a time when Count Basie was enjoying respect from all quarters (as evidenced by the pop acclaim of several Grammy awards and the jazz faithful's enthusiasm for his concert at Newport), Chairman of the Board was, comparatively, a low-profile session. The record was surrounded in Basie's discography by several prize-winners and a parade of studio collaborations -- with vocalists Tony Bennett, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, and Billy Eckstine, plus arranger Neal Hefti. This 1958 date for Roulette was a rare chance for the orchestra to perform on its own, and listeners to hear how powerful the band could be when its concentration was undiverted. Of course, Basie's band already possessed three fine arrangers (Frank Foster, Thad Jones, and Frank Wess) and at least a dozen solo voices. Each of the ten songs on Chairman of the Board were originals by Foster, Jones, Wess, or Ernie Wilkins, all of them arranged by the composer. The record is admittedly heavy on the blues, but it's a brassy, powerful vision of the blues; Foster's "Blues in Hoss' Flat" and Wilkins' "Kansas City Shout" take the band back to its hometown, beginning with a subtle swing but ending with a raucous display of power from each section. The contributions by Jones and Wess provide a necessary complement to that forceful swing. Jones' "Speaking of Sounds" employs the woodwinds to provide color and texture, while Wess' "Segue in C" relies on bassist Eddie Jones and Basie's piano to lead the band while Wess himself takes several choruses on alto sax. A dynamic date, it shows the "new testament" edition of Basie's orchestra in top form".

If you're not familiar with Classic Records or the Quiex SV-P releases , here's some additional information:

Classic Records has been producing HAND MADE / Audiophile quality reproductions for several years .... They are engineered from the original master tapes and pressed on 200 gram Super Vinyl. They take months to produce the master. Every precaution is taken to insure the most accurate sound reproduction possible.

Super Vinyl is produced in Japan at JVC, the only place in the world where such high quality vinyl is made. Super Vinyl gives an ultra quiet playing surface. It's a vinyl that is heavier and harder than ordinary vinyl. And it has no "memory". You can play a Classic SV-P record over and over again, without having to let it rest after each play. When an ordinary, soft vinyl record is played repeatedly, the groove walls tend to stretch and distort and the sound deteriorates.

While time consuming, their preoccupation with an exact sonic replica of the original master stereo tape creates an incredible listening experience. They cut no corners. They make no compromises. Every Classic Quiex SV-P recording will challenge your equipment and your listening ability."

The LP is NEW / FACTORY SEALED and in MINT Condition!!
