      Sound grade:

      1. Out to Lunch: holy shit. Epic 3D sound. Very holographic and tons of separation with deep dark silence behind it all. Such a fun and energetic listen.
      2. Somethin’ Else: incredible separation and forward sound. Each solo jumps out and creates dynamic listening. Track A1 has some background noise. The rest of the abum was A+
      3. A Love Supreme: I was so excited for this one. The music is obviously epic. But the verve/ acoustic sounds press was very mid and contained. Not bad, but not alive and sparkled. Like listening with blinders on. Very narrow. I’ll be looking for a better pressing.

      Overall, I have to say…the Tone Poet pressings are damn fine. Gonna be looking for more. Blue Train is next on the list to get. Grant Green’s “Idle Moments” is second after that.

        @Mizmazzle - @steelydan picked up a stellar 45 repress of love supreme a while back

        If you can't find an OG copy that might be the next best thing

          Tone Poet series is so good. I have not been disappointed yet. Blue Train, The Cooker, and Minor Move are the favorites of the ones I have. I hear Katinga is fire too.

                      @steelydan I’d love to get this pressing of ALS someday. I’ve heard mixed reviews on the UHQR releases. How does yours sound? I’ve got a couple UD1S from MoFI. I’ve had mixed success with those. I find the Analogue Productions releases to be consistently better than MoFI though.

                          Only the quality of vinyl that uhqr use , its the same recording engineer. But i believe it can't be 4 times better comparing $38.9 to $150..

                            @steelydan yeah. Ryan Smith or Kevin Gray are always a safe bet. Pressed at RTI or QRP is also a good indicator.

                              @steelydan you’re right about that! Those Tone Poet pressings are damn good!! Better than several of the MoFI pressings I have.

                                          This 12" EP (on red vinyl and 45 RPM) was re-cut from masters in 2008 and reissued by Dischord again in 2022.

                                          The 45RPM version of ‚Waiting Room’ is so loud and clear, compared to all digital versions I know.

                                            @Aetas one of the greatest albums of all time!! From one of the greatest bands!

                                            Love that they always had their show for like $7.00 and their tapes and records for so cheap. Looks like they are maintaining that ethos still!
