Wow! 5/8 Audiophile SQ recordings tonight. Unfortunately 4 recordings just slipped in. Trio 77 was clearly a notch above the other 4. Not quite a demo level Lp due to being slightly forward in presentation. If you are an acoustic jazz fan this recording is a 9+/10 SQ and content. TLC could be Ms. Wilson’s 1960’s best? Felt like an all jazz playlist today. Just finished playing prior to Super Bowl Halftime.

I’m pretty excited about this set that arrived today. I already have a Stravinsky box set, just played it recently, and unhappy with its pressing, mastering, and/or sound quality overall. So I went looking for a replacement, and what better than a box set of Stravinsky’s works conducted by himself? This set is in pretty darn good shape, considering it has a silver reflective finish, and a great thick booklet within. This should be fun, hopefully, as I have big expectations.
