I've never managed to get that trick to work. I thought it was a case of putting https://app.vinylmeplease.com/classics/vol-30-dave-brubeck-jazz-impressions-of-japan and seeing if it pops up? Doesn't work for me though so i must be doing something wrong.

Link trick doesn’t show the actual new release. If it’s correct, it’ll take you to the previous ROTM’s page. If it’s incorrect, it’ll take you to the store page front.

Ahhhh right, that makes sense. I tried putting Slowthai in for the rap & hip hop and that took me to the previous ROTM so looks like thats likely to be correct then. Cheers @NewsFedora and @Wes C. Attle

Ok, thanks. I didn't get it, but I wanted to hear some opinions because I'm considering to swap for it next month.

Wow, already? Seems early... or maybe it's just because I am still waiting for my Oct. shipping notice

we get confirmation on the 24th, so not that far away
If its a AAA remaster it might be cool to have, but I'm not too excited about it either. I had a Columbia 2 eye original before that I got for $10, was in great shape but vinyl quality was not great as it was noisy. This could be a big improvement.
Yeah, I’m very excited by the prospect of AAA Brubeck and Desmond

I was recently at a record store in Florida (Banana's Music in St. Pete) which has a back room of a few thousand unsorted records for $2.99 each.
I spent a good three hours flipping through those musty records. About every 10th record was a Brubeck. Impressions of Japan was not among them.
I’ve came across this record at least twice in the past year or so at the flea market, thrift store or antique store, can’t really remember. I know I’ve passed it up multiple times before that in my record collecting career. I have a decent copy I bought many years ago for a dollar or so.
It’s been a long time since I listened to it, but it definitely didn’t leave an impression on me...

If anyone is interested in grabbing Brubeck for me I’d be appreciative

Not sure I completely agree with this. There's a ton of other jazz records I would have preferred but thats my personal preference over the merit of the album.
In terms of it being common, thats a consistent occurrence with the classics, but it doesn't claim not to be. Just take the last handful of releases:
Art Blakey - The Freedom Rider. Had a repress in 2018 that can be picked up for £13.00
The Isley Brothers - Go For Your Guns. An original first press is common and will set you back £4.50
Willie Bobo – Uno Dos Tres 1•2•3. Another with an easy to find first press, which will cost approx £9.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe – Gospel Train. 2018 repress goes for £15.60.
Al Green – Call Me. First pressing is approx £9.30
My point is that almost all the classics as easy to find and affordable, but what sets them apart is the quality of the overall package including the pressing itself. Is Jazz Impressions of Japan Brubeck's best work? Probably not. But it does act as a good gateway into his work, especially considering that its part of a series he released which acted as a travel diary - Jazz Impressions of the U.S.A. (1956), Jazz Impressions of Eurasia (1958), Jazz Impressions of Japan (1964), and Jazz Impressions of New York (1964).
