“Remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound from the original analog tapes, the record was plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings. The depth and space when those rich chromatic harmonies create a wide and well-defined soundscape, the timbre of the orchestra as a whole as well as individual instruments, and the thick, wooden sound of Wendell Marshall’s bass are among the aural pleasures provided when you drop a needle on this platter; expect goose bumps.” — Music = 5/5; Sonics = 4.5/5 – Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound, May-June 2015.
