    By the $140 price tag, I can see that is gouge o'clock...

      On this and the Michael White pressing they have excessively cranked up the volume and we all know how this ends up sounding like. It's like listening to Judas Priest's Painkiller but on a jazz record.

        The reissue description erroneously declares it was cut at 45RPM. It plays at 33RPM.
