• Produced and engineered by the legendary EMI team of Christopher Bishop and Christopher Palmer
• Pressed on 180g vinyl to audiophile standards
• Featuring the original album artwork

“If anyone still has a lingering suspicion that a former Hollywood film composer and jazz pianist might compromise on musical standards, let him here this... with superb recording which allows for inner clarity in a rich texture, with fine discipline and sharp rhythmic pointing (sforzandos meticulously observed), the musical qualities are reinforced... this is a record to satisfy the most discriminating...” Edward Greenfield, GRAMOPHONE, July 1973.

EMI made the recording in both stereo and quadraphonic, an early attempt at surround sound for the now defunct SQ vinyl format. HiQ has used the superior balance of the stereo master tapes.
