I have this on CD but the sound is a bit thin. How's the LP? The music is tight...

I didn't notice that, Dub.  But my 53-year-old ears ain't what they used to be!  

 

Ok, now I don't know whether or not to go for a CD or insist on a LP. Pretty much everybody's Digital was thin sounding in those days...clean but thin...but if Pablo put an analog layer in it for the LP that they did not for the CD, then the LP would be my choice.

It's definitely possible that the LP sounds better.

The version that I found in the shop happened to be semi-translucent red vinyl.

I think this may be the ONLY colored vinyl in my entire collection.  Not certain.  But I don't recall any others.

As an owner of the CD I'd rec trying the LP first. Edit to add, if you're interested, message me and I'll send a track so you can hear it.

Undecided on that one. Have far too many versions (including an orig) already.

One of my favourite versions is the UK domestic issue from 1976 which came with a US sleeve. Bust a gut with my School Summer hol job carting sacks of cement to afford that one !

To be honest, I only bought this because I was in a local shop and saw it in the bins... pumping a little money into the local economy.

I actually compared it a bit to my "go to" CD version (UCCI-9030) and I think the CD sounds a bit better. I'm not worried though because this is my only vinyl version.

It is.  Got bored waiting for a UK one. 

Now listening to the Redial CD of 'Free Form' and the 'Abstract' LP sounds so much fuller and less bright. How's the 'Free Form' LP sound (assuming you have it, you do don't you?)?

Aha. I have a UK Columbia version somewhere (if I can find it). As renowned for Shake Keane’s brandy glass.

Looks like this.l

Amazing to think that that studio is now someone’s front room. I nearly got in there once..

3LP version

Yes, I have the Jazzland. Haven’t played it for a while but it sounds fine. To be honest, I probably play them more on CD.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a UK ‘Abstract’ in the shops - that copy was picked up many years ago from the late lamented JazzInVinyl. Clifford will remember that one !

Well if you don't listen to your 'Free Form' LP...

If I could find it I would play it more. Need a Librarian..

’Free Form’ should be easier to get hold of. I think it was only a US issue at the time, in fact I think I bought my copy in the US and was not expensive.

Correction - it came out in Europe on Interdisk.

Amazingly, just found my ‘Free Form’. It is in fact the UK Interdisk version in Mono, not the US. Sounds fine !

Funnily enough, I was a librarian for 20 years...

Copies of 'free Form' have been predominantly in US since I've been tracking it. Copies tend to be VG, hardly party music! Prices creeping up for a nice copy but isn't that the case across the LP board at the moment.

Edit to add: just pulled the trigger on a mono Jazzland
