Classic/Columbia Stereo DAVE BRUBECK/w Paul Desmond TIME OUT
STILL SEALED Legendary 1995 First Classic Records edition, first pressing 
RARE Original Master Recording Audiophile Pressing -- Classic Records CS=8192
STEREO 33 RPM 180 gram LP -- Still Sealed first edition, first pressing

ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING LPs EVER MADE!!!
STILL SEALED in MINT CONDITION -- Classic Records first edition (1995) virgin vinyl original master recording 180 gram 33 RPM LP! This rare and coveted audiophile gem has been stored in a protective plastic sleeve (to protect against shelfwear) and between cardboard liners (to protect against ringwear) in a smoke & pet-free, climate controlled home. I purchased this when it was first released by Classic Records and have carefully stored and protected it ever since. The jacket and even the plastic wrapping is just like the day I received it almost 20 years ago!
This was the first Classic pressing of this legendary audiophile title. Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original Columbia Stereo master session tapes using an all analogue system, it was pressed on high grade virgin vinyl at RTI for the ultimate in audiophile sound. There are no cutout marks, seam splits, ringwear, abrasions, or any other issues with this item. 
This 1990's Classic Records 1st pressing is FAR SUPERIOR to the later 200 gram Classic version, which like many other 200 gram Classic pressings suffered from inconsistent pressing quality and vinyl formulation issues. 
While Classic Records 1990's era RTI-pressed 180 gram first pressings are on more audiophile BEST LP lists than all other audiophile pressings combined, most of Classic's later 200 gram reissues are well known to the audiophile community as highly problematic -- primarily because of Classic's bold but unfortunately poorly executed attempts to use "flat" dies, the use of a new pressing plant that had inferior equipment and poor quality control, and the use of a wide variety of vinyl formulations -- notwithstanding marketing hype to the contrary).  Even more unfortunate, just as Classic started to get a handle on these later-day issues and seemed on the verge of producing great LPs again, the company abruptly (and I think tragically for vinyl lovers everywhere) ceased production and folded.

ABOUT THIS RECORDING (courtesy of Muze, Inc.):
Artist: Dave Brubeck Format: Vinyl Record Label: Classic Records Release Year: 1995
Genre: Jazz Instrument, Piano Recording Type: Studio Recording Mode: Stereo
Album Notes Dave Brubeck Quartet: Dave Brubeck (piano); Paul Desmond (alto saxophone); Eugene Wright (bass); Joe Morello (drums). Recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studios, New York, New York on June 25, July 1 & August 18, 1959. Includes liner notes by Dave Brubeck and Steve Race. Dave Brubeck's TIME OUT ranks alongside Miles Davis' KIND OF BLUE as one of the few advanced jazz masterpieces to achieve great commercial success. In fact, the widespread popularity of TIME OUT, with its cool-toned ambience, smooth style, and elements borrowed from classical music, helped make modern jazz a mainstream phenomenon. The ubiquitous "Take Five" may be overplayed, but that doesn't diminish the joy of its complex melodic hooks, its perfectly executed solos, or the swinging slink of its 5/4 signature. "Blue Rondo a la Turk" collages Mozart, cool swing, and Brubeck's own classically oriented piano style, and the airy, delicate "Everybody's Jumpin'" showcases the lyrical splendor of saxophonist Paul Desmond. With bassist Gene Wright and drummer Joe Morello keeping the tricky rhythms agile and swift, the Dave Brubeck Quartet blended complexity and accessibility for pure jazz pleasure on TIME OUT, an album everyone should own.
Editorial Reviews 4 Stars (out of 5) - ...Whilst other jazz innovators mapped out new harmonic and melodic realms, Brubeck and his band were forging time signatures anew, giving the music the wonky grace of a gazelle running the 200 metre hurdles... Q (03/01/1995)
...superb remastering puts you in the room and brings out all the shimmer of Joe Morello's drums. Jazz-lite it may be, but jazz-lite has seldom been bettered. Mojo (12/01/1999)
5 stars out of 5 -- Brubeck's music employed unorthodox time signatures that owed more to western classical music, perhaps, than jazz....TIME OUT sounds as fresh and vibrant as it must have done back in 1959. Record Collector 
4 stars out of 5 -- Both 'Kathy's Waltz' and 'Strange Meadow Lark' contain melodies and moods that keep one hearing new things time and again...
