Super Hot StamperGene Ammons/Sonny Stitt
Prime Cuts
(Item #: ammonprime_1909)
Our Price: $149.99
- This copy of Ammons and Stitt's 1972 soulful mainstream bop collaboration boasts outstanding Double Plus (A++) sound or BETTER on all four sides - fairly quiet vinyl too
- Remarkable Tubey Magical richness, as well as the kind of immediacy and transparency that most copies failed to match
- We've known this was a great sounding record for a very long time, and now we have the copy to prove it
- 4 1/2 stars: "Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt always made for a perfect team... The two tenors (with Stitt doubling on alto) are heard at their most combative during these consistently exciting performances"

Super Hot StamperGene Ammons
Blue Gene
(Item #: ammonblueg_1904_7_10)
Our Price: $149.99
- This wonderful Prestige recording from 1958 boasts outstanding Double Plus (A++) sound from first note to last - exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- One of the best sounding Ammons records we know of - it's huge, rich and Tubey Magical, with a solid bottom end and energy to beat them all
- Clean and clear and open are nice qualities to have, but rich and full are harder to come by on this record - this pressing has it all
- "Some ballad performances in his oeuvre are a testament to an exceptional sense of intonation and melodic symmetry, powerful lyrical expressiveness, and mastery both of the blues and the bebop vernacular that can now be described as, in its own way, 'classical.'"

Super Hot StamperGene Ammons
The Gene Ammons Story: Gentle Jug
(Item #: ammongenea_1901_7_10)
Our Price: $99.99
- Superb Double Plus (A++) sound from start to finish for this Moodsville Classic - on exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- These two killer Rudy Van Gelder recordings capture the truly wonderful sound of Ammons' smooth, rich, breathy, bluesy sax
- We love the reverb RVG placed on the drums here - it's sounds just right for a classic jazz album from the '60s
- "...the tradition of the tenor ballad was fully defined by Gene Ammons and Ben Webster... this [album] is the source of a tradition. One of the absolute necessities to any jazz collection."
