Great sound

"The K2 remasters are all good; I still havent find one that is not acceptable. But this one just made me open my eyes wide and my jaw dropped to the floor. Wow! you can feel the amp burning in your living room, like being in the famous Missile room where Wes used to play. This one has to be one of the best debut albums in jazz; no wonder why Wes was already considered the best guitar player around before he recorded this, his first album."

Wes Montgomery Hybrid/SACD

"The sound on this Hybrid/SACD release is amazing--you can hear every detail in the studio. My only complaint concerns tracks 6 and 8: these don't sound like alternate takes, but rather demos or run-throughs, as the sound quality is inferior to the other tracks. Too many labels are mining everything in the can and re-issuing CDs with bonus material that is often of little value. If included, it should be at the end of the orignal album, not scattered among the regular tracks."
