Brand new and unopened
The latest installment in Craft Recordings’ acclaimed Small Batch series—a meticulously crafted, audiophile-grade reissue of the Bill Evans Trio’s final studio LP, Explorations. Limited to 2,500 copies worldwide, this one-step lacquer pressing highlights every nuance of the original recording session.
Mastered from the original analog tapes (AAA) by Bernie Grundman and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, Explorations uses Neotech’s VR900-D2 "super vinyl" compound with a one-step lacquer process. This exacting process allows for the utmost level of musical detail, clarity and dynamics while reducing the amount of surface noise on the record to ensure that each pressing is a true representation of the original lacquer and is as close as the listener can get to the original recording.
As with all Small Batch editions, Explorations arrives in a foil-stamped, linen-wrapped, individually numbered slipcase. The vinyl—extractable through a frictionless ribbon pull tab—is housed in a reproduction of the original tip-on jacket from Riverside Records, protected by an archival-quality, anti-static inner sleeve. Completing the set are new liner notes by Syd Schwartz, a longtime writer, music marketing executive, and author of the popular Jazz and Coffee Substack.
