I've got it. This title was an amazing surprise to me. I played it over and over when I first purchased the CD sometime last winter.

Just bought it from Amazon. Can't wait!

Is the SACD version worth it, soundwise?

You bet it is!!! I had the single OJC CD, then sold it after I bought the Riverside box set, and was suprised by the clearly more detailed sound of the SACD - and so far I have listened only to the CD layer! The mastering may play a substantial part - much better. You can hear the attack of the organ bass notes and all.

I love all of Wes' organ trios - I love Melvin Rhyne, have all of his recordings except one rare Impulse by Buddy Montgomery he was on.

My favourite among Wes' organ trios is Boss Guitar with Jimmy Cobb - wish they would release that one as SACD!

I bought the original vinyl a...long time ago and wore it out completely.Got this CD in the german 20bits ZYX edition and the sound is very good.

My favourite song on this : Round'Midnight

Boss guitar was released on CD from the same source in Germany with the same very good quality

here is another one

i hate to admit this, but i only have 3/4 wes cds and like 2/3 from e-music

When I started compiling my own melvin Rhyne discography I wrote the following comment on the way the Wes Montgomery Riverside sessions were reissued:

If one wants to build a Montgomery organ trio collection based on the single CD reissues, one has to buy the Original Jazz Classics reissues of the four original LP issues (OJCCD-034-2, OJCCD-144-2, OJCCD-261-2, OJCCD-489-2) and Milestone MCD-9261-2 and MCD-9298-2. But this way, one gets only the edited take of Moanin‘ from the November 27, 1963 session, and Blues Riff (take 8) from the same session is still missing; both are currently available only in the box set Riverside 12RCD-4408-2 - The Complete Riverside Recordings, although there would have been enough playing time left to include them on MCD-9261-2, MCD-9268-2, or on any of the Original Jazz Classics CDs. Wes' Riverside recordings are one more opportunity to discuss the validity of a reissue concept worshipping the original 12" LP issues in an almost fetishistic manner. There will come a time when all jazz lovers who still knew these LP's have died and jazz buyers will shake their heads at the scattered fashion in which these recordings were issued.

These are the issues:

Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-034-2 - The Wes Montgomery Trio

Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-144-2 - Portrait of Wes

Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-261-2 - Boss Guitar

Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-489-2 - Guitar On The Go

Milestone MCD-9261-2 - Encores, Vol. 2: Blue 'n' Boogie

Milestone MCD-9298-2 – Dangerous

To make things worse, the box set omits takes of Yesterday's Cild, Dangerous, Lolita and Blues Riff from the October 10, 1963 - Wes wanted to try them again after listening to test pressings, but after the next session on November 27, 1963, before the album was issued, Riverside went out of business - the new owners issued the album as compiled on the test pressing. This must have been bugging Keepnews considerably .....

Guitar on the Go and the Wes Montgomery Trio are excellent. I think the latter one came out in a K2 last year from Fantasy.
