Bill Evans Riverside Recordings Box Set is FINALLY IN STOCK!!


I ordered this from Acoustic Sounds in Nov 2020 and just got my shipment notification tonight!  Yay!!  It has been way overpriced on Discogs so glad they are finally available for anyone that wants.

I was traveling for work and FedEx did not acknowledge my note to leave with my neighbor so attempt #3 is tomorrow lol. I don’t have any other audiophile pressings so will only be comparing to a couple of the albums $30 recent pressings. Do you have either of the UD1S or any other older audiophile copies for comparison? I am looking forward to a chill Friday night with this set.

I have listened to half....they have all sounded fabulous and very quiet.  The pressing quality is quite excellent.  My favorite at this point is Shelly's Manne-Hole.

@rich121 I would talk to the folks at Acoustic Sounds.  I have played all the discs a couple times now and none of them have noise.  They are all just as quiet as my MoFi UD1S albums.  

The QC of today's world of pressing has been a let down.  Noise and warpage on brand new records is too common.  I bought a vinyl flat for the warpage and it works well, but only on new vinyl...has never worked on older albums.  

When I last spoke to AS about an update of this release I asked if they were pressing enough to ensure my backorder would be fulfilled.  They said do not worry as they are pressing more than enough for future sales as well.  I would think they could work with you on a possible replacement.  I would at least want to send them back so they can experience the problem.  Hopefully they would be open to this on such a high-value product. 

Good luck!
