Reviews on this are little all over the place. How does it compare to Tone Poet and other recent series releases?
Yes, I can believe that. My copy is the new Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series. It sounds good, not great. It definitely needed a cleaning, prior to playing. I'm picking up a slight swooshing sound in the left channel, a few clicks as well. My only other copy is the mono Blue Note 75th anniversary from 2014, I almost like the mono better. Is this available as a Tone Poet???
No, I don't believe it is. I was just trying to draw a comparison against TP as a baseline. Sounds like you are saying it is not as good. BN75 got of a ton of flak because of the inconsistency of the quality. Interesting that you like that record better. Although as a rule, I like mono better for jazz. Sometimes the stereo can be too separated, hard panned.
To me, it doesn't sound as good as theTone Poet series.

The cover and wear at the top makes that look like a 70's version, but I'm not aware of the green and yellow label. Do you know what pressing that is?
I’ve had a problem locating this exact copy on Discogs. But the runout is very close to the 1976 German Pressing. It could be an unlisted variant. The labels don’t match but the runout info is sooooo similar. Only thing is the label is different than that Discogs listing.
It is a very good pressing. Enjoy spinning this one. Some additional info off the back cover:

Very cool and different. Did you get it in North America?

Actually had it as a “throw in” on an order for a different record I bought off a Discogs seller from Germany one night when I had too many rums. 😂 Some German sellers have really good shipping prices to Canada. Considerably less than half of what US sellers want. USPS has gotten expensive to ship across the border.

Scored this dusty moldy trashed record a few years back and fixed her up alright.
