    I don't have locked grooves on side one and three. Does anyone have the same situation?

      Purchased a used copy for 50 bucks the other day, and I’m blown away with how this sounds. Glad I didn’t spend 48 + tax on the reissues that I’ve only heard bad things about. Side 1 is one of coolest, most grooviest sides of wax I can think of. Locked grooves let the album go on just a bit longer. Another Jeff Parker project I can listen to endlessly

        The vibraphone in "Ten-Day Interval" should be one of the greatest moments in ultra high-end vinyl reproduction, stupendous presence and hue, AWESOME!!!!!!

            The guitar at the front of Swing from The Gutters (A1) is everything.

              It’s a beautiful pressing and such a great album. Took me forever to get into it and once I did, it became a fave.

                It's a fantastic high-quality recording with sonic separation between instruments to allow for panning effects during songs, while still maintaining a tight sound throughout. Someone at the recording studio put a lot of thought into how this would all fit together in the end. Rather than be distracting, it makes the music even more mesmerizing. 10/10

                  Paid $40 for this at my local record store. it is in near mint condition. It's was worth every penny. The original pressing sounds amazing. I see the price is going up every year.
