The original LP from which this transfer was made was in excellent condition for its age. Sonically the original recording was a little cramped and boxy, something which XR remastering helps alleviate enormously. The addition of Ambient Stereo processing, which extracts and spreads the natural ambience contained within the recording, serves to further open the sound of the recording out and give a real sense of space around the instruments.
