Review by LucioBocchi

Great music, as you can expect from the big musicians involved. The packaging doesn't make justice to the content: it's a simple lightweight papersleeve, so thin that there is no space to print the title on the opposite side of the opening.

Beautiful music, but Universal Japan caused damage to the original ECM release, omitting all these important liner notes: Design, Barbara Wojirsch Cover Photo, Herbert Wenn Liner Photo, Dag Alveng Engineer, Jan Erik Kongshaug Produced by Manfred Eicher Recorded June 1979 at Talent Studio, Oslo. This is a very very bad thing, especially for discs of 1500 yen.

Warning! this CD produced by BELLE ANTIQUE, has a big mistake in the title hidden under the OBI-strip : MISSING the "C" of Cosmic. (And to think that in the last century Japanese people were masters in the management of Quality Circles among workers in companies and could teach the management of Quality Control to the rest of the world.) For everything else the issue is very accurate and the inner leaflet contains the following responsible services: 1- CD Artwork Coordinator: Keiko Sakurai (Marquee Inc.). 2- CD Cover Printer: Ichikudo Printing Co. Ltd. 3- Belle Antique. 4- Warner Music Japan Inc.

Very accurate realisation in accordance with BELLE ANTIQUE standards. This is a real Collector's product.
