    Only heard this on a friend's set up, so it's not an entirely valid comparison, but the originals are cheaper, easy to find and my US og sound better to me than this press.

      Amazing dynamics. Turn up the volume!
      BUT my copy is quite noisy, a lot of small pops even after multiple ultrasonic cleanings.

        Amazing presentation, have no other version to compare. However, knowing this one keeps me confident it is the best.

          Outstanding pressing of this record, beats the original which also sounds good. Musically as good as it gets with Basie in both large and small group formats
