Re: zavvi: they're all bangers. I don't know zavvi personally but the word is they're good/passable presses -- nothing audiophile but solid player copies. The music itself is fantastic: Dolphy and shorter are stone cold classics. Money jungle is a classic but it's hard to call it a banger Although the song "money jungle" itself is the musical embodiment of three dudes who know they're hot shit, who are not getting along personally but are going to work together. Mingus is arguably the real hothead prick here -- storming out because he didn't like roach's playing, and duke has to chase him down and get him to return -- but they're all definitely big names (with reason) in and of themselves. GO and McCoy I only know by reputation, I haven't heard them personally.

GO is one of my all time favorite albums and the DeAgostini blew my old BN75 version out of the water.
