    Opened this today. Sounded nice enough but track 1 on side B had a defect that stopped the needle from advancing. Fail.

        Love this record! One of my favourites! That said, I have now gotten two of this exact version and the first one had a skip about 1:15 into "Mood Indigo," so that wasn't very great, but I happened across another one and that one had no such skip. All in all, a fantastic record- it sounds clear, and it is most definitely not very flimsy-feeling... I'm not a big fan of including "Stormy Weather" from the album "No One Cares" on this record though, because it's a very unnecessary addition to an already near-perfect album. Still, this record is a great pick, despite the bonus song.

            Excellent sound on this edition!
            Smooth,silent and captures the mood that is sang by Frankie.
