The album was intended as an experiment using musical styles Brubeck discovered abroad while on a United States Department of State sponsored tour of Eurasia, such as when he observed in Turkey a group of street musicians performing a traditional Turkish folk song that was played in 9/8 time, a rare meter for Western music. Columbia president Goddard Lieberson took a chance to underwrite and release Time Out. It received negative reviews by critics upon its release, but despite this, it became one of the best-known and biggest-selling jazz albums, charting highly on the popular albums chart when 50,000 units sold for a jazz album was impressive. It consequently produced a Top 40 hit single in "Take Five", composed by Paul Desmond, and the one track not written by Dave Brubeck. The cover art is just as important as the LP itself featuring specific artwork created by S. Neil Fujita best known for his covers for CBS Records, which introduced abstract art to jazz LP packaging.

If you visit the Discogs site, you will see that vinyl prices of this particular edition of Brubeck's Time Out starts at $41.30 on the low end (VG+) and that's from Switzerland! (Copies from U.S. sellers start at $69.99.) Cover is Near Mint as I've kept it in a plastic protector from time of purchase. The vinyl has a very light hairline on side one but the record has been completely play-tested (sounded great; did not hear any problems at all), so Near Mint on that too.
