Original Dutch 'thin' pressing, Heard it at Jack's place the other day. WOW!
I have the ORG 45 pressing in house. I've been listening to it all weekend. It is outstanding.
Great post at the essential London Jazz Collector blog today about Art Pepper's "Smack Up!", one of my all time favorite LP's and definitely a hot pressing. I have original mono and stereo versions and LJC includes sound clips from both. An essential LP for jazz lovers..http://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/art-pepper-smack-up-1960-us-contemporary-mono/

I can only give this +0.5 because I haven't cracked my copy open even though I've had it for almost two years! So much vinyl... So little time...
Something old, something new...
"Statements" Milt Jackson Quartet, Impulse A-14, 1962, mono
With Tommy Flanagan (p), Jimmy Heath (ts) and Connie Kay (d). Great, blowing session with fantastic sonics. Ask Mike Lavigne...it doesn't sound like mono. Absolutely prodigious bass.
"Woman" Rhye, Republic Records, 2013.
Mike Milosh's otherworldly and closely miked vocals dominate this disc of good old 60's pop/soul/electronica. This duo has tried to create a buzz by keeping their identities mysterious and releasing their first singles over the internet without attribution.
'Open' is a great single but there is a better NSFW version on their website: http://www.rhyemusic.com/
Excellent sonics with the caveat that my first copy was noisy and had to be exchanged for a fine sounding 2nd copy.

I won't duplicate what I said in a few short words on the SH forums, but this darned thing rocks to high heaven! Beautiful beyond description! It has everything!
It has just rocketed into my Top 10 list of best recorded LP's in my collection.

I won't need the digital reissue... Some are still sealed. I just forgot them. The announcement by Wilson Audio about the reissue reminded me that I had some hidden gems somewhere...

John-I don't know if the picture of your cartridge playing the LP is causing an optical illusion or if you have a hair on your stylus because it looks like your cantilever is bent to the left.
Cool. Better that it was a piece of debris clinging to your stylus than having a bent stylus.
