Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury MG-50140 (mono).

FR pressing. But unfortunately, this copy didn't sound great what I had expected... Not too dull sound, but not sharp and crisp enough. I'd like to listen to earlier copies if available.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Although this may not be the best-sounding copy, musical thing is a different matter - I love this performance much.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

8 out of 10
