Fabulous musicians. Spirited playing. Great sounding vinyl.

Blue Note Classic 2024
(made in EU/Germany)
Vinyl LP skips at the beginning of side one. Returned for replacement. Fingers crossed.
**Replacement copy plays well and sounds great! This album is well recorded and mixed…sounds like you’re in the studio with the musicians. I’m so glad to have a reasonably priced copy of this vinyl album.

Great record and I had no issue with the quality of the vinyl. It sounds great. I was only really familiar with Morgan's work on Coltrane's Blue Train, but got this on a whim after reading about it and seeing the ensemble that was put together for these recordings.

Lee Morgan and this album is a must if you are a lover of jazz or trying to fall in love with jazz. Lee Morgan didn’t live long but he left some of the best jazz albums. Explore the man and his music. 🔥🔥❤️

Another defective classic series release that was dish warped. They should press the Classic series where they press Tone Poets, as there are fewer issues with that series.

I can't speak to any of the other reviews because my copy was perfect and I mean perfect!. Completely flat, no surface noise and simply one beautifully sounding album.

My copy was flawless and sounds great!

One of Morgan’s best albums. Hancock really shines too. The copy I received was mercifully free from major defects, with just a slight edge warp.

I had the exact same issue as others have with my first copy - warped and with a locked groove. Returned it and my replacement is perfect. Lee Morgan’s records are all great - this one is up there but maybe not just as great as some of the others (sidewinder, caramba and infinity being my personal favourites. Re the warped vinyl - I have noticed a decline in the QC of recent Blue Notes - even the Tone Poets. It’s handy that returning with Amazon is so easy but it’s still frustrating.

Clean and superb sounding copy.

I bought one direct from Blue Note Records UK - unplayable - the stylus wouldn't stay on the record. I returned it & they told me they had no more copies. I bought this today from Amazon - exactly the same problem. Clearly a whole batch of faulty pressings from Germany. Can Amazon use their influence to get the record label to sort this out as I've had no joy from Blue Note records UK. Still awaiting my refund from the record I returned to them on 21st Feb
