Arnett Cobb – Ballads By Cobb

hm, I note that I added the 2017 pressing to my collection two years ago (i.e. in 2023), probably, come to think of it, because at the time there was no listing up yet for the 2023 pressing. My copy has the same runout grooves as this listing with the MUST crossed out, BUT, my copy weighs about 205 grams. So...why does this listing state 180gm? The 2017 does not have the (crossed out) MUST in the runout groove according to the metadata beneath the listing, so my copy presumably isn't the 2017, but the 2017 is a 200gm pressing. Thus....confused

Yes, it’s there… maybe that’s on the master, I don’t know.

Need someone who has an original copy to chime in.

Apart from that, it’s an amazing record.

Sonido excelente, cero ruidos ni entre transiciones de canciones.... muy recomendable.
Mi unidad no tiene ningún ruido en el último tercio de la cara A

I've had two copies with the same artifact toward the end of A1 (sounds like paper being crumpled). Do other folks have it as well? Perhaps it's an issue with the tape itself.

There is a 2-second noise in the last third of the first track on the A side, which firstly appeared to me like a pressing issue. I bought new, record looks flawless. Then I compared with Spotify and the noise appeared exactly at the same timestamp. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or anything with the master tape?

One of the most lifelike recordings of a tenor saxophone ever. You can hear Cobb's breath, fingering of the keys and great tone like he is in the room with you.

Pretty noisy vinyl. QRP is over rated in my opinion.

back in stock at Acoustic Sounds! Go get it. Love this record.

Great sound on this pressing, stamped RVG in the runout

A Release of exquisite quality and unbelievable sound. Dream dynamics, depths and goosebumps
