I agree with the gentleman that stated that if it were vinyl it would be worn out. This album is great. It is very peaceful. Allans' voice is perfect. I think he is by far one of the best piano PLAYERS of this century. Sure, many can "play" technically very well. However, they seem to lose the emotion of the song. Allan carries that out beautifully. Just listen to "Summer of My Dreams" Man! what a song to rejuvinate your soul. This will be a cd that doesn't collect dust. If I ever meet Allan, I would like to personally thank him for this album.
