Mingus, MJQ, Chris Connor, Ray Charles, MIlt Jackson, Ornette Coleman, and many others. There is a reason Tom Dowd recorded "every" session for Atlantic (jazz, soul, R&B, rock, or otherwise).

That’s the one I’m after but doesn’t pop up often in the US…I have the Zia records version and it sounds okay from what I remember but I don’t know that it’s the same as the Craft one

this one uses the same Bellman stampers as the Classic Records version, but it comes in a flimsy jacket, not the stoughton tip-on. It's a little brighter with punchier drums, I like it a little better than the Craft, but the Craft is great too, more midrange and less bright

You guys are great as always! Local has the latest Concord/Craft and delivers, sounds like that should be ok for me.

Ya sure this one is the Bellman stampers? I guess it’s a crap shoot with Amazon most of the time…

Stevie Wonder had initially wrote “Superstition” as a trade for Beck playing guitar on Talking Book. Unfortunately (For Beck) his version was delayed and MoTown liked Wonder’s version so much they decided to put it out anyways and it went one to become a number one hit.

thats the one I ordered a few years ago and it’s matrix matched the Classic Clarity pressing by Bellman. I think Concord just used the Classic stampers for those.
