You can't really go wrong with two of the greatest tenor sax players of all time on the same LP. And you can't really go wrong with Japanese LP pressings.
I am a huge fan of Japanese vinyl and always pick them up when I see them at affordable prices. In the 70s and 80s, Japanese vinyl was 2-3 times the price of domestic vinyl and consequently those that could afford it looked after it (or were collectors that played the domestic version but kept the Japanese pressing to show off to friends!) While the bass can be a little shy on Japanese pressings, the clarity and especially minimal surface noise more than makes up for it.
This is a very nice 1981 Japanese pressing of the original 1957 LP. Bass is actually quite prominent on this one and the two saxes are super warm. Great piano from Oscar P . . . doing just enough. Also featuring Ray Brown on Bass, Herb Ellis on Guitar and Alvin Stoller on Drums. My copy does not have the OBI strip, but couldn't pass up a mint copy of this classic jazz album on Japanese vinyl.
