I came thisclose to buying Fragile a
couple of weeks ago but opted for Portraits in Jazz which was still available on Amazon Japan for around $135. I’m not a jazz fan, but was pleasantly surprised by Sunday at the Village Vanguard, which I had never heard before.
I thought that I would post a word of warning to people who have sealed copies. It bothers me that they put two slabs of foam in the box. I have a couple of the older MOFI UHQR boxes, which also used the same type of foam packaging. I think the foam gives off some sort of gas that reacts with the paper used for the technical manual insert that was included in the old UHQR boxes. Here you can see the difference in color where the manual was inserted in a sleeve on the inside of the box cover. Where the manual was not covered by the sleeve, it has changed color. Weird. Anyway, my older boxes weren’t sealed but I left them on the shelf unopened for a couple decades. When I opened them to check, the inserts were discolored. Nothing else was affected.

Why would you spend all of that money on this title when we have talked about the dreadful master tape high-pitched tone flaws for years? You guyz!!

Uh um. I don't recall reading anything about the dreadful high-pitched tone flaws on PIJ.
I'll say that it's not one of the greatest successes of the One Step series. But if you can't get hold of the AP 45, the One Step isn't bad. In fact it's very good, possibly improving on the AP by a hair, but just not great. Not in the lofty league of the UD1S Sunday At The Village Vanguard. And not worth purchasing if you already have the AP.
But it's not album I would have chosen as a great candidate for the very costly UD1S series. MoFi has made some curious choices.
