"They're Large and open up and definitely work in stereo because they're non hard left/right stereo. The cymbals are so "chimey" and the skins and so open! Even Rudy'due south typical indigestible piano isn't likewise bad. These are going to be really good....!!!! (Existent time reaction subsequently hearing his offset exam pressing of Horace Parlan'south Speakin' My Piece LP.)" - Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine

"I've heard a lot of Blue Notation originals and myriad reissues over the years, but based on the sample examination pressings heard and then far, none—and I hateful none—convey the intensity of living, animate music-making the mode the Music Affair'due south Blue Annotation series does. The sense of air, texture, and dynamic pop in these grooves is amazing." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound

"The albums are existence cutting at 45 RPM for maximum quality by Kevin Grey and me using our full ANALOG disk cutting system; most studios cannot even cutting vinyl in 100% true analog anymore (they catechumen to digital first) but we can. The original Rudy Van Gelder engineered stereophonic session tapes are used when nosotros master these gems. The sound quality is amazing on our test cuts. Like from heaven. First totally uncompressed versions of these jazz classics that I've ever heard and trust me, you will exist impressed; they sound similar no other releases of this music."

"The sound is lifelike, the horns are in the room with you. Our non-invasive mastering insures the truthful breath of life on these original Van Gelder session tapes is transferred to the virgin vinyl with absolute authenticity. It is like hearing these BLUE NOTE masterpieces for the first time and that is NO exaggeration. When we heard the showtime lacquer acetate playback from our beginning mastering session I idea Joe Harley was going to pee in his pants he was so excited. Actually we all were; after l years of many lackluster and some downright bad sounding versions of these albums, hearing the real deal is a humbling feel, fifty-fifty for us hardened music veterans. Y'all will be able to listen to the music exactly like we did..."
