Description

J.R. Monterose – Self-Titled (Blue Note 1536) 

The Definitive Audiophile Mono Reissue by Classic Records

This is the highly sought-after 200-gram MONO pressing from Classic Records. Mastered from the original analog tapes, this edition captures the raw energy and "in-the-room" presence of the 1956 Hackensack session featuring Ira Sullivan, Horace Silver, Wilbur Ware, and "Philly" Joe Jones.

The "Vault" Collector’s Item: Why This Pressing Matters

For the serious jazz audiophile, the Classic Records 200-gram Mono series is the gold standard for Blue Note reissues. This isn't just a reprint; it is a sonic reconstruction of the 1956 Hackensack session.

The Bernie Grundman Factor: This edition was mastered by legendary engineer Bernie Grundman directly from the Original Analog Master Tapes. Using his world-renowned custom all-tube cutting system, Grundman preserved the "hot" mono presence and massive dynamic range that Rudy Van Gelder originally captured, but with the added clarity and low noise floor of modern high-end pressing techniques.

Quiex SV-P 200-Gram Vinyl: Pressed on Classic Records’ proprietary Quiex SV-P (Super Vinyl Profile), this 200g slab features a flat profile (rather than the standard "groove guard" lip). This ensures a more consistent contact between the stylus and the record surface, resulting in better tracking and a more stable soundstage.
