    Absolutely love this album. Warm and bright like all the old BN, this album really hits hard with punchy horns and such a smooth bass line.. Truly a special record and what an amazing lineup. Johnny Griffin was viewed as a musicians musician and everyone wanted to play with him

      No info, if there's "RVG" engraved in the runouts. I own the 1972 pressing under United Artists and it's the same metal master number engraved like in the first pressing and no RVG.

        My french mono version has a black and white image on the cover for some reason as opposed to the original black and yellow
