Barney Wilen – Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960

Any comments on the quality of the pressing would be very much appreciated.

To start with the most important thing—the sound—it is quite decent but nothing mind-blowing. I would guess that the original recording wasn't that great to begin with, and this is probably as good as it can sound. I have no original to compare it with. It does not sound as good as a Blue Note recording from the same time—not even close.

That said, it’s a fun and exciting album, and if you’re a fan of Lee Morgan, Barney Wilen, or Art Blakey, this release is a real treat.

The packaging, however, puzzles me. The jacket is thick and heavy, almost Stoughton-like, but the record comes in a paper inner sleeve? I don’t get it. Why not do it right when you’ve obviously put some thought and care into the packaging?

Thanks, grandmarais1973, for adding this record! I've had it for a few years, but my lack of Japanese prevented me from adding it to Discogs.

My copy has a demonstration sticker on the yellow label.

Discogs Catalogue Release no. Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Super Live should be added to this listing...
