By 1998, interest in Takeshi "Tee" Fujii's phenomenal success with his Three Blind Mice jazz label led him to make a compilation of his favorite tracks. He chose across a wide swath of recordings between 1973 and 1978 for the resulting album, which he titled The Famous Sound of Three Blind Mice, Vol. 1. The most popular tunes ("Blow Up", "Misty", "The Lady Is a Tramp", "Scandinavian Suite", and "Midnight Sunrise") were all included.

Japanese, German and American CDs provided fans around the world access to Tee's singular vision and taste. It's only now, for the first time ever, a 180-gram LP has captured the excitement and sonic detail of these seminal tracks. Impex's deluxe set includes 10 tracks, mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, and spread across four heavy-vinyl sides that let the music "breathe" like never before.

This gatefold jacket features new art recreating the feel and style of TBM's designer Ben Nishizawa. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own Fujii-san's favorite tunes in this deluxe, reference-quality package!

Great Music

The music on this album is outstanding as is the production, mastering etc. However, the pressing is not quite as clean as it should be. One song in particular has a lot of pops and ticks. The good news is the rest of the two albums are not as bad as the one track. Otherwise I would have given this a 5 star rating. I would recommend this album to music lovers and friends.

Nice collection from the musicians to the press from an organization that cares about the music

Mizuhashi Quartet track is live and just a stand out. The tracks included in the TBM box set are maybe slightly audibly better, but only really the 33v45 usual differences, I really don't mind having 3 out of 10 tracks the same as the box set - more than happy to have a 33 version of Aqua Marine. Thoroughly recommended
