Miroslav Vitous – Infinite Search
There’s something special about sliding a record out of its sleeve when it still has that crisp Japanese obi intact — like unwrapping a secret message from the jazz gods. Today’s post is all about a record that’s been spinning in my mind for days: Infinite Search by Miroslav Vitous, Japanese pressing on Embryo Records, complete with that apple-green obi and the original insert.
Two days ago, I dropped a gem from Russia. Yesterday, and again today, the Czech Republic has taken center stage — and for good reason. Miroslav Vitous, originally from Prague, was only in his early twenties when he recorded this monster session, yet he played like he’d already seen the edge of the universe. And he wasn’t alone.
Released in 1970, Infinite Search came out on Embryo Records in the U.S., but the Japanese pressing brings a totally different magic. The attention to detail — from the apple green obi to the deep black pressing, to the precise, airy mastering — it all feels like a love letter to the music itself. And yes, the Japanese insert is here, loaded with kanji and lined translations, adding to that collector’s mystique.
