Description

180g Vinyl LP!
Part of the Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series!
(AAA) Lacquers Cut from the Original Master Tapes by Bernie Grundman!
Pressed at QRP!

TAS Rated 5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the November 2024 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

Harold Land's hard bop album The Fox was originally released in 1960, with Contemporary Records reissuing it in '69. Featuring Harold Land (tenor sax), Dupree Bolton (trumpet), Elmo Hope (piano), Herbie Lewis (bass) and Frank Butler (drums), it was produced by David Axelrod.

This new edition, released as part of the Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a tip-on jacket.

All the musicians on this straight-ahead, hard-swinging date are a perfect match for the music and each other, including drummer Frank Butler, who displays serious chops, boldly accenting and rhythmically driving the proceedings. Craft has done a fastidious job on this all-analogue 180-gram vinyl reissue, both the mastering (Bernie Grundman) and the pressing (QRP), putting to shame the CD version I have. Trust me, this is a musical gem.
-Jonathan Horwich, The Absolute Sound, November 2024, Music 5/5, Sonics 4/5
