Erroll Garner

2 LP SET

This is worth it because the sound quality of the original concert and the additional tracks that comprise the entire concert are vastly superior to the original. The first two discs are the original concert as heard at the September 19, 1955 concert, including announcements. The third is the original album with greatly enhanced sound and speed correction. Do note that the piano Garner was playing is slightly out of tune in the higher registers. Also, both bassist Eddie Calhoun and drummer Denzil Best are in their proper place in the mix versus being barely audible on the original recording and release.

In addition to being virtually transported back to the concert, the last track of disc three, the post concert interview, is invaluable to the fans
