The LP release was something of a failure, given Zukofsky's chilly playing and the uneven miking that puts the piano far in the background. Perhaps the engineers at Nonesuch were unable to remaster it to their satisfaction. One highlight of the new set Steve doesn't mention is Paul Jacobs's perfromance of Night Fantasies, which was previously unavailable on CD and is certainly not a failure.
