Some reviews:

I am overwhelmed with the care and attention to detail that went into this project. The pursuit of perfection in every aspect from the labels to the jacket, to the booklet and the box. All of the work to produce an outstanding collection of Bill Evans is evident in every aspect of this project. But above all is the sound. In the over used but understated phrase "It is like having the band right in front of you". The detail of every instrument is just simply there. It is no effort to close your eyes and place each member of the group. I am not a collector of albums. I buy music to listen and go that Zen place in my mind. Every album in this set is simply awesome. If you are a Jazz fan, a fan of Bill Evans this Analog Productions is a master work that will not disappoint.

These recordings are impeccable. The presence and imaging are so vibrant and engaging. Present is all the work with Scott Lafaro, not just the Vanguard sessions. A great book. Not inexpensive, but a stellar piece of musical history that is incredibly well done. Buy it before it goes out of print.

I have been a life long Evans fan. Was not a able to pick up some of the individually realeased 45s so when the box set came out I was one of the first in line and I wasn't disappointed. The originals were well recorded and the 45s are stunning. The booklet give a great history on Bill.
For any Evans fan this is a must have.

My wife entered my listening room the other day, she usually don`t do that, and ask what are you playing? A record from that big box over there I said, why are you asking? I have never heard such a sound down here she said; the soundstage are so big, so clear and natural, I feel that the mucisians are here in the room, this is incredible she add. After that she stayed in the room with me for another record and she said nothing when she left with a big smile.

PACKAGING

We’re record lovers too and hate receiving items marked as ‘Mint’ and turns out to be scuffed or ripped. This can be avoided!

We use top quality packaging materials - so all our items arrive with you, the buyer, in top notch condition.

Please note: all records are removed from their sealed packaging UNLESS REQUESTED OTHERWISE. Once removed from their packaging, they are kept in a 250g polysleeve which ensures protection. The record(s) and its sleeves are then placed between 2 stiffeners. This ensures that everything arrives exactly as you’d want it to.

Remember - we all need to recycle where possible, so with larger orders and larger items, we re-use the packing boxes and protective wrapping received from our suppliers.

The charges for packaging are based on the following:

Grading based on Record Collector Guidelines:

 

Mint   The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed should be Mint.

 

Excellent   The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

 

Very Good   The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

 

Good   The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

 

Fair   The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

 

Poor   The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

 

Bad   The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
