Wow what a sound the clarity, the dynamics and soundstage - wonderful and the music, St James Infirmary, Frankie and Johnny etc sublime!! Needless to say I had to get one and so after some searching I have finally acquired a nice clean copy of Discogs for a very reasonable price. Now this has become my own reference vinyl. It also sounds pretty mean on CD!
Excellent info there Bannjo, I must keep my eyes open.

Gary Burton (vibraphone)
Mick Goodrick (guitar)
Abraham Laboriel (bass)
Harry Blazer (drums)
The opening track:

A real cool slice from 1962 - bonus of Jim Hall on acoustic guitar.

Someone has pointed me in the direction of this 18 CD set which some of you may be interested in....
It is listed on Amazon UK for £25.27 but is temporarily out of stock. Should you want to investigate further here is the link.

That is a splendid set indeed, alas I have most of 'em already.
