Edited 2 months agoWow, mind-blowing mastering by Kevin Gray. When you get a pressing as good as this, it is a stark reminder of why we love to listen to vinyl records. -
Phenomenal. Dead quiet vinyl. Great DR and soundstage. One of the best in my collection.
-
I got my copy today.... Wow ! What a piece of mastering and this for a very reasonable price. Especially for this beautiful record, doing right to Mrs. Simone in every sense.
The record was dusty, with clicks and pops, but after 2 cleanings on my VPI the vinyl is quite and full of dynamics.
If you're in for this music : grab it while you can ! You won't regret it.

This LP is essential to Nina’s catalog, in part because everything starts here but more so because the minimal piano, bass and drums combo puts Simone’s prodigious talents on full display.
The KG mastered version sounds great. Good pressing with minimal background noise. Jacket is properly printed. Quality packaging. Overall an excellent intersection of value vs. quality. Can’t really beat the quality here at the $20 price point. -
Wonderful clear pressing. Sound ( mainly the vocal) has a bias toward the left speaker, but it does not detract from how awesome this is. Timeless and beautiful music!

Edited 3 years agoDoes anyone have a copy of this blue vinyl version that is NOT distractingly panned left? My copy is at least 80-20 with the left being the 80. Is it a defective pressing or just my copy? Listening on a Accuphase E-800, Clear audio innovation, Kiseki Purple Heart Cart, Accuphase C-47 Phono Stage. The quality is very nice, the lp is quiet, and an amazing listen, but if that hard panned left, I wish they would have folded it to mono.

Sonido sorprendentemente bueno, la impresión y calidad de audio de esta reedición es magnifica, vale cada euro.
La duración del track 5 del lado B es 6:47 en lugar de 3:05 como marca en la contraportada. -
Compared to the black versions ive tried (either too noisy or too warped) this one is actually the quieter press. Two attempts of this one again badly warped. 3rd one less warped but still off centre too and i can detect this too. However despite being quieter it also comes across clearer to me which on the whole is great but its slightly hotter with just abit more sibilance on the vocal peaks on Dont Smoke in Bed than the black version.

This album is sick! Amazing sound quality. A few pops on Side A but I still need to give it a clean so hopefully that fixes it. Regardless, the price is right for this kind of sound quality.
