Description
Wayne Shorter SPEAK NO EVIL - Music Matters 2LP 45 RPM edition - This copy is sealed, mint, and super low #145 (I was an original Music Matters subscriber when the label was launched). There's a reason Speak No Evil is one of THE most sought after titles in the Music Matters series: Herbie Hancock on piano, Freddie Hubbard trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums, all tearing it up on six Shorter compositions. An all-time classic!
And RIP Mr. Shorter: You were an essential part of (imo) the PEAK years of the Jazz Messengers, plus the groundbreaking albums with Miles and Weather Report, plus so many great solo works. A true giant.
ABOUT 45 RPM PRESSINGS
A lot of audiophile titles get reissued as 45 rpm sets for several reasons, but the most important one is because they almost universally sound better than a 33 1/3 version.
This is not hype. LPs pressed at 45 rpm offer a wider dynamic range, deeper bass, and sweeter top end. While 33 1/3 offers more convenience (more tracks/time per side before you have to flip the LP over), there are significant tradeoffs, including more compression (particularly as the stylus moves closer to the center) and lower frequency extension (you need physical space to cut deep bass wavelengths into vinyl).
I’ve played “A/B” comparisons for a lot of folks (mostly non-audiophiles), and no one has yet chosen a 33 1/3 title over a 45 rpm version. It is NOT subtle.
About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment.
Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck!
