LOU DONALDSON Lou Takes Off New & Sealed One Sided, 4 Disc Pressing - 45 RPM Series
Record label/brand: Classic Records/Blue Note 1591 upc/mpn: None year: 1957
This is a very collectable audiophile rarity issued by Classic Records. There are 4 heavy vinyl, one-sided records in this set. Mastered by audio legend, Bernie Grundman, this was Classic Records' attempt to achieve the ultimate in vinyl sound quality.
The records are packaged in one sleeve with the original album artwork and then three white generic covers. Classic Records pride themselves for releasing each album with the original artwork, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings. Corners are sharp, spines are straight and there are no flaws, blemishes or imperfections of any kind. 100% MINT!
This title was mastered by Classic Records at Half Speed from the original source master tapes. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step. Classic Records used a proprietary vinyl, in either 180 gram or 200 gram weight, 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.
Review: This was Lou's third album for Blue Note in 1957, the other two being Wailing With Lou and Swing and Soul. A great hard bop outing with a bit of straight bebop that comes highly recommended. Personell: Lou Donaldson (alto sax), Donald Byrd (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Sonny Clark (piano), George Joyner (bass), Art Taylor (drums).
