Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury MG-50285 (mono).

RFR pressing: this earliest RFR-1 pressing delivers superb sound with gorgeous stereophonics and presence.

A bit later pressing (with RFR-2/1 copy) comes with Vendor label and black-back cover. The sound is inferior than RFR-1/1 copy.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Straightahead performance with rather fast tempo. However not boring at all. Great performance.

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

8 out of 10
