Reviews

Gets three stars because it's great music on a well pressed record:
Properly centered and flat record with low surface noise.
Soundstage is decent and mid frequencies are clear.
But it severely lacks bass on certain tracks, so either the mastering or recording isn't done correctly on those tracks.

Quality tested using an AT-ART9XI cartridge on a Technics SL-1200G turntable with SME V tonearm. -
absolutely horrible remastering... Don't lose money over that piece of crap.... Far too bright! CD version by Concord is much superior sound-wise, what a shame!

Edited 3 years agoWell, the highly hyped "iconic photographs" included with this special release are two photographs: one on the front cover, and one inside the gatefold. That's the extent of it. In hindsight, I wish I'd gotten the album with the original artwork of Monk sitting in the red wagon instead. It may be less "French iconic," but more visually appealing and interesting. Haven't listened to the recording yet.
