Description
This is an ultra-rare TEST PRESSING of Analogue Productions' limited-edition 180-gram 45rpm 2LP edition of Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby. You will not find a better-sounding copy. Because this is a test pressing, there is no artwork. Please note that the standard 45RPM edition of Analog Productions' Waltz for Debby has been out of print for years. This is considered by many to be the best-sounding jazz record ever released. Will combine shipping costs if you win some of my other auctions. PayPal only. Payment expected within 24 hours of auction close. ABOUT WALTZ FOR DEBBY: This is the second of two Riverside albums made up of selections recorded by the classic Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, and Paul Motian trio at their legendary live recording session of June 25, 1961. Although originally issued a half-year later than Sunday At The Village Vanguard, this was by no means an afterthought collection of lesser items: Evans and producer Orrin Keepnews immediately recognized that there was more than enough material for two top-level records. The dozen chosen performances were subdivided to enable the first album released to feature LaFaro--who died in an auto accident just ten days after recording. Thus this second collection can fairly be said to present a more typical overview of this remarkable unit at work.?? Mastered by Doug Sax. "…On Waltz for Debby, recorded live at the Village Vanguard in 1961, Bill Evans perfected the jazz trio: all three parts equal, yet integrated into song forms. The sound quality is near-perfect." – Fred Kaplan, Stereophile, February 2007??
