Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. Considering these recordings date back to 1945, it's pretty impressive overall. Just don't expect top-notch Audiophile Jazz quality. Some parts sound fantastic, while others leave something to be desired. The vinyl was a bit dirty, but after a good cleaning, it played alright with the usual pops and clicks here and there. The box it came in is quite nice, though.
Each side of every single disc was filled with scratches so deep that it messed up the playback. I'm really let down, clearly there was no quality check done.
I'm wishing someone will sell record 4. Just took it out of the sleeve for the first time and it's got a bunch of noticeable, deep scratches on it. Next time Verve puts out a box set, I'll wait to check the quality before I spend $100 on it.
Only for those who have everything. Not the best starting point for Parker's music. I'd suggest getting the Dial or Savoy versions first before this one.
Fortunately, my copy is clear of any QC problems. The pressing is nice and flat, with no dirt or debris. The packaging and booklet are absolutely gorgeous. The performances are bursting with energy and fun. However, the quality of the source material isn't the best. But that's to be expected, given when and how it was recorded. Don't expect crystal-clear, dynamic studio recordings. If you're into bops, it's a worthwhile addition to your collection.
Whether you're just starting your vinyl collection or have been spinning for years, the right turntable makes all the difference. We've selected the best options for every budget.
