Art Pepper Quintet
Smack Up
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2024 Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series reissue. (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman. Pressed on 180gm vinyl at QRP. Custom hype sticker on shrink. Tough, edgy, and deeply expressive. Smack Up finds Art Pepper pushing into bolder, freer territory without losing his lyrical core. With a killer quintet in tow, it’s a late-period high point—raw, swinging, and full of fire.
