FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album was first released in 1974. This copy is a later German reissue with the same catalogue number ECM 1042 ST; the year of pressing is not stated.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ with wear mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of use. The sleeve is graded VG+ but shows visible wear, which you can see in the scans. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

What does the album sound like?
Weber combines jazz with chamber-music colours: strings, synthesizer and his own electric double bass shape the long, calm pieces.
