Be careful when buying this (the original) pressing! I have just bought a copy of this and it is badly pressed 'off centre' which causes the cartridge to sway side to side and causes distortion. I had exactly the same problem and had to return a copy two years ago. It does seem to be an issue with this pressing. I am avoiding this one in future and going for a more recent copy in future.

Well My copy is absolutely pristine, no pops clicks or other. It also came with the single of Nature Boy' which doesn't seem to be listed.
I love this set, both albums are quite superb and on any given day either can be my favourite. He's a genius.

Similar to other comments I also paid £60 for an original press which was badly pressed off centre. The sound quality was also poor, proceed with caution! (at least I got a refund)

Never heard a copy of this album (and I have heard 5), which did not have enormous pops and thuds at some point on the discs especially on the Blues LP.
