A MINT ORIGINAL LP ON RIVERSIDE 9496

FROM 1965 IN STEREO AND STILL SEALED, QUITE UNUSUAL TO FIND A SEALED RIVERSIDE PRESSING

WHY ARE RIVERSIDE STEREOPHONIC RECORDS SPECIAL? AS MENTIONED ON SOME RIVERSIDE BACK LINER NOTES:Riverside stereo recording is designed to achieve a true spacial effect through proper microphone placement. Avoiding the so called "ping pong" effect (an extreme left-right division by which sound is heard through the two speakers only, with a silent "hole" between them), our aim is to retain the natural sounds as you would hear them originally. This recording method, plus the finest of re-recording techniques, enables us to provide you with a truly three dimensional experience in sound, in which a "phantom" speaker seems to exist between your actual two speakers, providing a continuous arc of sound.

WITH JOHHNY ON THE ORGAN, VIRGIL JONES ON TRUMPET, HOUSTON PERSON ON TENOR, LUIS TAYLOR ON DRUMS

7 TRACKS INCLUDE NICA'S DREAM, CLEOPATRA AND THE AFRICAN KNIGHT, BENNY'S DIGGIN', BRAKE THROUGH, ELOISE, A LITTLE TASTE, TWIXT THE SHEETS

COVER STOCK STILL SEALED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP INTACT. SOME LIGHT OVERALL AGE DISCOLORATION. CORNERS WITH SMALL ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES ON POINT. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.

review
by Richie Unterberger
A Little Taste is a sturdy quartet date, featuring Smith supported by Virgil Jones on trumpet, Houston Person on tenor sax, and Luis Taylor on drums. There's more of a straight jazz (as opposed to soul-jazz) influence on this than on some other Smith sessions of the time, evident from the opener, a strong, boppish cover of Horace Silver's "Nica's Dream." It's good to hear a soul-jazz quartet that moves a little beyond the standard genre progressions into some hard-driving bop ("Bennie's Diggin'" is a good example) and minor key excursions ("Cleopatra and the African Knight"). It's largely an up-tempo collection, though not one that gets monotonous, and the fellows do slow things down into a bluesier grinder on the closer, "Twixt the Sheets."

AND, LASTLY, PLEASE DO REMEMBER SOUND QUALITY IS AFFECTED BY WHAT THE VINYL IS PLAYED ON! IF YOUR STEREO SYSTEM HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CHOSEN AND ASSEMBLED FOR IT'S AURAL QUALITIES AND YOU PERFORM BASIC MAINTENANCE LIKE CLEANING YOUR VINYL, CLEANING THE NEEDLE AFTER EACH PLAY, AND REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE WHEN NEEDED, YOUR LPS SHOULD SOUND QUITE GOOD.
