Saw this in a newsagent today. Comes with a booklet. LP format priced at €6.99. I think it is the first in a collection from De Agostini. Hope I got the details right as I just noticed it briefly. Might interest some even for the booklet. Most vinyl folk probably have this already?

The missus brought me home a copy from Easons Dundrum. Sound quality is superb! Nice additional sleeve notes too.

Coltranes "Blue Train" is the next issue but after that they get fairly pricey.

Was tempted but unsure how good a pressing it might be, good to hear Ivor...

Picked this up today. Very impressive looking with high-quality sleeve/label reproduction and shiny, clean vinyl. The magazine and poster are great too with nice photos and text. At 6.99 it's a no-brainer.

(Haven't played it yet - waiting for the right moment when the house is quiet and the beer is cold!)

Update: Played it twice and it's a really nice, warm sounding, quiet pressing. I thought the channels might have been reversed compared to my Legacy CD version but not 100% sure which is correct. Only a minor, barely audible glitch on very the last part of the last track. Will run it through the Spin Clean and it might shift it.

Recommended - might pick up another copy if I come across one!
