Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set is FINALLY IN STOCK!!


I ordered this from Acoustic Sounds in Nov 2020 and just got my shipment notification tonight!  Yay!!  It has been way overpriced on Discogs so glad they are finally available for anyone that wants.

Go for it! Guys.

The Bill Evans set is a sound investment.

 

Happy Listening!

I have an original box set and it doesn't have a side #2.  There's a side labelled #2, but it's actually side #18, if I remember correctly.  Something I've never encountered before.  Very strange.

I like the Bill Evans box set $900 , since I have some of his album? I decided to buy the Venus 30th aniversary box set sampler for $449.

I had a Riverside box set of the 1963 trio recordings with Scott Lafaro and Paul Motian and they were just all-right. Riverside left the mixes alone but cleaned things up however at PCM 16 bit/44.1 I opted to sell it for more than I paid for it and eventually downloaded a DSD file of ‘Waltz for Debbie’ which I like a slight bit better.

I have finally had time to play the first 2 titles of this boxset.
Sadly, quite disappointed in the quality of the vinyl so far... I have played 4 sides and 3 of the 4 have unacceptably noisy vinyl... constant ticks/hash.
At $82 per album, $41 per disc, this is even more unacceptable.

I waited so long for this... and I'm finding no matter if its RTI or QRP, the pressings more often than not are noisy.

Starting to re-think my purchasing in this hobby... getting really tired of the lack of QC.
