    A handful of pops throughout (April in Paris, final track on side 2 seems worst), but nothing can take away the magic here. Just stunning presence of the vocals and the whole performance is real lighting in a bottle sort of stuff. Besides the few pops, vinyl is as silent as it gets - and packaging is A+ too.

      Bought brand new from an independent seller. Jacket and sleeve are both from excellent quality. My copy is severely warped but well centered. Spin hole is way too tight. Some very few faint tics here and there, but nothing ruining the experience. Soundwise, it sounds pretty clear with awesome presence and separation. 4.85 / 5

        Thank you designerjohnson for the Amazon tip, bought it yesterday!

        I had an “old” Jazz Images version which was good, but this one is stellar!

        My copy is flat, silent and great mastering by RKS.

          My copy plays without any issues. Picked it up for only $22 on Amazon. Still marked down and available at time of this review. And it sounds wonderful!

            I received a very flat copy with no pops on either side. Mine's a very clean copy. Love the way this record sounds.

              On est jamais decu avec AP, même sur les acoustic sounds series, silencieux vivant et terriblement efficace.

                    Folks gotta learn how to work their triceps a little - concave warps can EASILY be removed with some pressure and careful handling.

                      My copy is silent where it matters! Very few pops or clicks, great bass and awesome highs!
