Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds (Small Batch, One Step Pressing)

Limited Edition Pressing of 1000

Brand New, Sealed, IN HAND & ships asap!!

ABOUT SMALL BATCH Craft Recordings is proud to introduce Small Batch, our carefully curated, one-step lacquer process vinyl series devoted to creating the highest quality vinyl reissues of legendary recordings from our catalog.

The second in title in the series will be Yusef Lateef’s 1961 classic, Eastern Sounds. Originally released on Moodsville, an imprint of the legendary jazz label, Prestige Records. Available for pre-order Friday March 26th at 2pm PST and set for release April 23rd.

The Eastern Sounds pressing has been produced with the same meticulous care that won our first edition, Lush Life, rave reviews like “flawless . . . as close to the original tape as you’re likely to hear” (Analog Planet), “an unmitigated joy” (Goldmine) and “beautifully done” (Stereophile).

Each album selected for the Small Batch series will undergo all-analog mastering, and then be pressed utilizing Neotech’s VR900 compound onto 180-gram vinyl in a one-step lacquer process at RTI—as opposed to the standard three-step process—allowing for the highest level of musical detail, clarity, and dynamics while reducing the amount of surface noise on the record.

The Small Batch series is available exclusively on craftrecordings.com.

ICONIC PACKAGING

Housed in a foil-stamped, linen-wrapped slipcase. The vinyl disc—extractable through a unique frictionless ribbon pull tab—comes in a reproduction of the original album jacket and protected by an archival-quality, anti-static, non-scratching inner sleeve.

NEW LINER NOTES

New liner notes from some of music’s best educators, historians, and journalists will accompany each title.
