This cd was made in Japan, the price is a little higher than the domestic product, which I do not mind. The outstanding quality of the disc makes it worth while, and it also happens to have a historic value in that it is a debut recording by Pat Metheny, and Jaco Pastorius on the bass, also a first ever appearance of this bassman. When the record first came out in 1976, it did not receive a good review. Then, many years later(1990’s) the interest for this album suddenly sky rocketed, and the sales picked up like a wild fire. This does not surprise me, for Mr Metheny really created a piece of music that seems to captivate the listeners. It is not a virtuoso type record, though Metheny’s command of the guitar is phenomenal. It really does make for a great listening. Metheny has since been through a multitude of fusion styles, though his basic playing never changed a great deal. It is the work he did with different jazz musicians that tend to make the most audible difference. Just to mention the Pat Metheny Group, it really does sound quite different, compared to his early work. Get this record, it is beautiful. Read full review

This is an early 70's recording and irrespective of the format (Vinyl or CD) one cannot be sure of the master tape quality. I'm happy to report that this albums audio quality is quite good, much , much better than the Loudness war rubbish that many CD's dished out to the public are.
