The Miles Davis Quintet's seminal classic, Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, is the third release in Craft Recordings' Small Batch series — a carefully curated one-step process vinyl collection that is devoted to creating the highest quality reissues of legendary recordings from its vast catalog.
As with all Small Batch albums, Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet was cut from its original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI using Neotech's VR900 compound and a one-step lacquer process-as opposed to the standard three-step process-allowing for the utmost level of musical detail, clarity, and dynamics while reducing the amount of surface noise on the record. The limited nature of these pressings guarantees that each record is a true representation of the original lacquer and is as close as the listener can get to the original recording.
Each pressing of Relaxin' is individually numbered and encased in a foil-stamped, linen-wrapped slipcase featuring an acrylic inset of the original artwork. The vinyl disc-extractable through a unique, frictionless ribbon pull tab-is housed in a reproduction of the album's original tip-on jacket from Prestige Records and protected by an archival-quality, anti-static, non-scratching inner sleeve. New liner notes from the Grammy Award-winning music historian, journalist, and producer, Ashley Kahn complete the package.
