The records in question are overpresses, and are also available in the
Ewe-Essay on the cheap. THey're a good buy, but I've had the occasional
problem with the quality of the pressing.

The Pearl (the last B/E) contains no surprises, but sounds to my ears like
a marriage of the "On Land" and "Apollo" textured stuff with a bit less
obvious tomfoolery with the actual piano. As such, it sounded on first
listen as being a bit less flashy in terms of treatment. On repeated listens,
there is a greater sense of subtlety here, and (opine only) more of an
insistence on Budd's part that the actual pieces be seen as compositions
rather than a sort of synergistic relationship between a treatment scheme
and a piece as raw material.
