@tkelleyalaska...do you have the 2020 45RPM version or the 1995 33 1/3 copy?  I have the 1995 album.  I also have the CD.  Being a complete digital chain recording, (DDD) then to vinyl, they are indeed quite good.

I was a DMP dealer.  Did you know that "Tricycle" was the 1st Jazz CD available on the market?

US 1st Pressing

Hello . I will check when I get home from work , but I believe it is the 2020 version , I also have a new cd if it I purchased “ordered w the album “ last year , and I also has the cd from about 30 yrs ago when I first listened to them from my local hi end audio store 👊🏾

1984 and Fair Warning

I have two new lovely acquisitions, both in pristine condition for my poor system. The first is Mozart's Requiem and Kyrie in D Minor. By the English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner. Spectacular solos by Barbara Bonney, Anne Sofie Von Otter, Han Peter Blochwitz, and Willard White. Recorded in Sept and Nov 1986 on period instruments. Just stunning.

The second is Tom Waits' album Foreign Affairs, recently remastered by Waits/Brennan. Terrific duet with Bette Midler. Recorded with a live orchestra in July/August 1977. Just sounds so good with a smoky bourbon.
