Here it is: THE Audiophile Jazz Fan's box set to end all box sets - All Of Bill Evans' Riverside releases cut at 45 RPM PLUS The Cannonball Adderley Know What I Mean? release for which Evans was such an important contributor!
"The new set is struck from the same parts but pressed on 200-gram vinyl at Kassem's own QRP plant. ... judging from other comparisons I've done, I'd guess the QRPs have an edge. But I will say this: these are, for the most part, extraordinary-sounding recordings, better than any you're likely to find. If you love the music, you should consider the purchase." — Fred Kaplan, Stereophile, Nov. 1, 2017
