SUPERB!

One of the rarest direct-to-disc productions, this Cal Tjader piece is quite stunning in its audio capture. Fact is, the Latin jazz tempos are infectious, especially in "view" of the very fine sound.

The presence here is simply astounding. And no wonder: The board electronics were designed by John Curl, of Mark Levinson fame, and you can tell, so utterly natural and unstrained is the sound. Mastering, too, was performed by the illustrious Stan Ricker.

A note, though, please: Be careful in bringing this record to realistic levels, as it can utilize enormous power and thus induce damage, if you are not careful.

Cover has a touch of edge on the spine (nothing serious), while the disc inside plays mint. (Side 2 has a scuff that does not sound.)

One of the few jazz direct-to-discs on which the music is truly of note. Impressive, first note to last, with splendid tonal colors.

For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
