I love these mini LPs from Japan. I also love the Count Basie Band. But our friends from Japan messed this one up pretty badly. First, the original Roulette label used for the CD face is the orange and yellow edition, which is NOT the original red, yellow, blue & green bars over white label. Second, the sound is not the beautifully restored sounds you will get from Mosiac Records. Instead, it is an older master which was used on the 1987-1988 Vogue releases from France. So as the other reviewer points out, you will hear a lot of tape dropouts. This is particularly notable this Basie series of CDs from Japan. Hopefully (but I doubt it will happen) the Japanese company will re-release the ENTIRE line of Basie Roulette recordings (and Maynard too, please!) and get it right the second time around.
