  • Metheny's Breathtaking Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    trroaxJuly 23, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing tunes, album and sound quality. Pat Metheny delivers his finest performance with breathtaking guitar pieces on Ornette Coleman’s Turn around and Open. My first Metheny record over 30 years back and it still feels as fresh as the day I bought it!

  • Prolonged Decline in Playback Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    XysqjavFebruary 11, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Prolonged decline! Amazing tunes .. I purchased this brand new upon its release and was genuinely pleased with the overall quality. It's seen very little full plays but over time, the playback on all four sides, particularly side 4, have become so crackly it's nearly unlistenable! Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Vintage Audio Excellence

    JokavJiinobJanuary 6, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing audio quality! Music just hits different with the upgraded gear I've collected over the past 43 year. The recording and pressing are still top-notch! I pretty much have every Pat Metheny album out there.

  • Rich Sound, Excellent Pressing

    The sound quality is incredibly rich and full. Excellent pressing. Definitely reccomend this one!

  • Vinyl Gem: Metheny's 80/81

    4 out of 5 stars
    qawuQV_March 12, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Back in my day, I somehow ended up with every single Pat Metheny record you can imagine - as a band leader, as a side player, soundtracks, even bootlegs. All on cassette and CD, mind you. But this year, I've started collecting his vinyl records too. I'm making some progress, and I was really happy to find this pristine copy of 80/81. These guys truly create some incredible music, so improvisational, so much creative back-and-forth, and each musician just shines with their talent. The sound quality is amazing, and the pressing is top-notch.

Product description

This is a 1980 Promo/Radio Station Copy released as a 2LP set.

Dive into the world of jazz fusion with Pat Metheny's 1980 double album, "80/81," a captivating blend of improvisational brilliance and meticulous composition. Recorded over four intense days in May 1980 at Talent Studio in Oslo, Norway, this album showcases Metheny's innovative guitar work alongside an all-star ensemble featuring Charlie Haden on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, Dewey Redman on saxophone, and Michael Brecker on saxophone and horn. The album's eight tracks, spanning a total of 81 minutes, offer a rich tapestry of sounds that seamlessly weave together folk, jazz, and fusion elements.

"80/81" opens with the expansive "Two Folk Songs," a 20-minute exploration that sets the tone for the album's eclectic mix of styles. The title track, "80/81," follows with a more structured, upbeat rhythm, showcasing the band's tight interplay. Other standout tracks include "The Bat," a playful and energetic piece, and "Every Day (I Thank You)," a soulful ballad that highlights Metheny's lyrical guitar playing. The album concludes with "Goin' Ahead," a dynamic and uplifting track that brings the ensemble's collective virtuosity to the forefront.

Released on ECM Records, "80/81" is a testament to Pat Metheny's versatility and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz fusion. Whether you're a longtime fan of Metheny's work or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a compelling journey through the diverse landscapes of contemporary jazz.
