When comparing the different digital versions, I think quite a bit was done at the mastering stage to create the released sound. Diverse as they are, they seem to me more alike to each other then to the flat transfer. The same probably goes for the original vinyl, with the sound of subsequent releases taking it as a reference point. I'm glad I bought the disc in 2013, though it wasn't cheap. The Platinum SHM-CD is long OOP, but with a bit of effort can be found in FLAC form on the internet. It's not like you haven't payed for A Love Supreme multiple times already. Quote

Wish my copy was better than VG. I have to go to Spotify for a non-crackly listen Edited September 21, 2018 by mjazzg Quote
sidewinder Posted September 21, 2018 Report Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) The Howard Riley can be very difficult to find in great condition, like many of that Brit Jazz CBS batch. When you do, it isn’t cheap either. The vinyl is superb for catching the subtleties of Alan Jackson’s drumming though. I have the ‘Crescent’ in the UK HMV mono pressing. I think it cost me about £15.

jeffcrom Posted September 22, 2018 Report Posted September 22, 2018 Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top (BN Classic). A wonderful session. I assume that it wasn't released at the time due to technical issues - there seem to be weird things going on with Lee Morgan's microphone. Quote

jeffcrom Posted September 22, 2018 Report Posted September 22, 2018 Lou Donaldson - Cole Slaw (Cadet). Not the LD album I would take to a desert island. It took me awhile to figure out why Bruno Carr's drums sound so horrible and slushy. The drum kit is panned to the right channel, but the very heavy reverb on the cymbals is panned to the left. Once I figured that out, I ran side two mono, and it was at least more listenable. Quote
