Tír Na HiFi

It contains one of my very favorite tracks "China Gate"

This is another of my LPs from 1973:

On the TT:

A 16/44 lossless rip.

A few weeks ago, 1st listen, I thought this was more Leucolyte. I like that but not my favourite EST disc.
But over the last couple of evenings it's obviously not. Very nice. Very good.

First bought the double LP in 1977 and played the hell out of it on my Fidelity player.

This version is a digital 24 bit/96 kHz download from Gubemusic - wonderful quality.

Still my favourite improvised piece by Jarrett.

I love it. I used to work in a Jazz record shop in the old Dandeloin Green in the late seventies, (it's now the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre), a gentleman, by the name of Mick Fagan owned the shop, he introduced me to Noel Cloney (Mick had a fantastic HiFi set-up too), and that 2 LP set was one of the best sellers for quite some time. Perhaps you bought the album set there?

I think that it portrays Jarrett at his most self indulgent, inventive and melodic best, it's GREAT.

The only record shop I remember buying from in Dandelion Green was a pre-megastore Virgin shop - great place for alternative rock bands such as Can, Amon Dull etc.
I think I bought the Koln album from a Golden Disk shop on the corner of Liffey Street and Henry Street which was also exceptional for it's time.
