ED GRAHAM Hot Stix
NM/NM Used Audiophile Vinyl Record (45 RPM)
Record Label: M&K RealTime RT 106
This is an original M&K RealTime Direct-to-Disk, Limited Edition Audiophile Pressing. M&K were one of the pioneers of Direct-To-Disc recording and had much to do with the advent of the "audiophile" label put on recordings that exemplify top standards in recording, mastering and pressing. Long out of print, these titles are considered to be some of the finest recordings ever produced.
On the TAS (The Absolute Sound) List of exceptional recordings.
Cover is in like new condition. Bottom right corner is creased slightly and both bottom corners have more wear than the top, Vinyl is like new and appears to have not been played much if at all. Plays beautifully.
Side 1
1. Caravan (Duke Ellington)
Side 2
2. Sonic Inventions (E. Graham)
Review: Produced by Jonas Miller and Ken Kreisel and pressed by Teldec in Germany, this is the legendary "Hot Stix..." one af the finest recordings you will ever hear. This record is both a direct-to-disc and at 45 RPM. The expectations are obviously high and this LP definitely meets them.
The sound is incredibly immediate, detailed and dynamic. The sides are very short. Side 1 features Graham plus jazz legend, Earl Hines. Side 2 is Graham "solo". The only sonic downside I hear is in the lowest bass, where it is a little loose. Other than that, this record equals anything, sonically.
There will be no musical value here for many listeners. This record is also on the TAS list, and most readers know what that means. ~ High End Audio.com
