"When true balance is achieved, sonic excellence needs no subsequent belated recognition, and that was precisely my first and last reaction to the Nagra 70th Anniversary vinyl. The musical and sonic panacea is served up immedately and in full, with no need to foreground the contrast between sound and music. Laflamme has hit exactly the right sweet spot. ... The Nagra 70th Year Anniversary Collection album is not the usual analog ahoy, but a true balm for the soul with precipitating effects and tactile realilty checks on all four sides of the Nagra double vinyl album. For what it represents musically and sonically, I am pleased to present the Nagra 70th Year Anniversary Collection with the Mono & Stereo 2022 Editors Choice Award." — Matej Isak (Mono & Stereo founder)

The recordings on this album constitute the material from a June 20th, 1968 studio session recorded by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS) and Joachim-Ernst Brendt in Germany's Black Forest. This is no ordinary recording. This enthralling Bill Evans session was recorded five days after a famous performance at the 1968 Montreux jazz festival by Evans, bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette. Verve's Montreux live recording won a Grammy, but this studio session has been in the vaults ever since.
2xHD is a brand known to audiophiles who love jazz. The team of producer André Perry and audiophile sound engineer René Laflamme have produced exceptional transfers from analog tape.
2xHD vinyl are sourced from first generation analog recordings without any digital corruption. Lacquer cutting is done at Bernie Grundman Mastering on tube cutting equipment.
