5.0 out of 5 stars You are there, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jazz at the Pawnshop (Audio CD)

The Pawnshopis a jazz club in Stockholm (Stampen...Swedish for Pawnshop). With this CD you really can feel like you're there -- you can hear the beer flowing from the taps along with the sound of the tips bell ringing in the background. (These sounds really bring the venue into the recording...they're not distracting)

The recording engineer, Gert Palmcrantz, is a genius. Anyone wanting to get into recording engineering should buy this album...it's that good.

I've been lucky enough to visit Stockholm and Stampen (the Pawnshop) a few times and it's an absolutely great place that has a variety of music acts.

I don't know jack about Jazz, but their rendition of Take Five is the best I've heard.

3. High Life (7:13)

This double-CD set comes in a double-CD jewel case. A 2-page insert note (track listing in English; note in Swedish ONLY)
Manufactured and distributed by AudioSource (proprius CDP 7778/7779).

Pressed by JVC Japan. This Box Set has long been gone out of print and is sought after by serious collectors. The recording is known for it intimacy - just like you're there in person at the "Pawnshop".

(The Vol. 1 from Amazon only has 9 cuts).

5.0 out of 5 stars It's back in print now from First Impression Music, July 21, 2002

This review is from: Jazz at the Pawnshop (Audio CD)

This has always been one of my favorites ever since the days of the LP. The reviewer below correctly notes that the original version had 12 tracks on it compared to the single CD version's 9 as noted in the description Amazon.com has provided. The single CD version was released primarily to save both the customer and the importer at the time (AudioSource) the cost of a 2 disk set. Sadly, the later reissue eliminated "Lady Be Good" a song that has always been my favorite from the set.

First Impression Music of Seattle has licensed this recording from Proprius, and has restored all 12 of the tracks to two disks. It is a hybrid set of disks with both standard CD and SACD capability. It's OK if you don't know or care about SACD, just remember that it will play just fine in your present equipment, but will sound even better if you ever decide to move up to a DVD player for your movies that is also SACD compatible (Sony makes several popularly priced models). You can find First Impression Music by doing a google search on their name. ...
