Weather Report’s biggest-selling album is that ideal thing, a popular and artistic success – and for the same reasons. Released just as the jazz-rock movement began to run out of steam, this landmark album proved that there was plenty of creative life left in the idiom. This powerhouse super group, comprised of Joe Zawinul, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Alex Acuna and Manolo Badrena, delivered their only certified-Platinum release with this killer cut. The album features the jazz standard "Birdland" and was one of Columbia's best-selling jazz albums.

"When a 45rpm reissue of Weather Report's Heavy Weather arrived, it went right on the Rega RP3 Turntable. I haven't played the original in way too many years, but I thought I knew Joe Zawinul's "Birdland" pretty well from hearing it often when it was first issued, in 1977. But I really did not know "Birdland"! This reissue produces an exceptionally wide stage with ear-popping three-dimensionality. It sounds as if the recording engineer and mixer were purposely manipulating certain elements in order to produce such vivid dimensionality. Instrumental separation was also pronounced." - Michael Fremer, Stereophile

"ORG has meticulously re-mastered the tapes to 45 rpm analog vinyl with dazzling results. Despite the electric nature of the instruments, the tones are rich and warm. The variety of synthesizer runs is rendered with pristine clarity. Whether an individual note or a textured overdub, the sound quality is distinctive and eminent. Shorter’s saxophone, and in particular the soprano, is subtle and without any shrillness. Pastorious’ bass has separation from the rhythm section, and is rendered with maximum detail. The overall mix is impressive as each instrument establishes an individual resonance with virtually no distortion." - Robbie Gerson
