EyeSpeech Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 The APO reissue of Overseas is amazing. Elvin Jones sounds like he's in the room and the piano has a wonderful midrange tone with a hint of stringed percussive quality that so often is missing on CD or lossy MP3. A must-have. Quote
Stonewall15 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 I have the CD version of Overseas, not the SACD referred to by Groover. The sound is terrific and it has 3 alternate takes that are not on the SACD. Quote
six string Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 I just bought the John Coltrane album "Coltran" from the same series and it is indeed an excellent pressing. The Flannigan album is definitely on my short list of others to get in that series. I'm glad that it's cut at 33 1/3 instead of 45 rpm too. Quote

EyeSpeech Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Posted January 24, 2013 The CD version is indead a lot cheaper. Can't vouch for its sound quality.

I'm glad that it's cut at 33 1/3 instead of 45 rpm too. Yes, Coltrane is my favorite Trane album so I was thrilled with this SACD (I haven't been getting the vinyl). There is now a Prestige and Verve series coming from APO. The Prestige All Stars SACD is another gem. Quote

erwbol Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) How likely are these Analogue Productions SACDs to go out of print soon? I own a couple, but would like to buy a few more of the Blue Note, Impulse! and Verve titles. Edited January 24, 2013 by erwbol Quote
EyeSpeech Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Posted January 24, 2013 A lot of APO's early SACDs, such as Waltz for Debby, are still available. So my guess would be these will remain in stock for many more years. That said, when SACDs go OOP, the prices are ridiculous. So it may be best to just cave and buy them now. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Hmm. I have this on a Japanese Metronome LP from the '70s. Sound is excellent. I'm not sure the alternates would make me "need" this but regardless, it's a wonderful album that deserves consistent mention. The Metronome EPs (the original issues of this material) are pretty fancy looking, though I've never owned one. Quote
sidewinder Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 Hmm. I have this on a Japanese Metronome LP from the '70s. Sound is excellent. Mine's a Japanese pressing too. Cost about £5! Quote

This may well be the best/worst visual pun ever! Quote
EyeSpeech Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Posted February 7, 2013 It's a record, not a visual pun. It's more fun to hear than to see. Quote
EyeSpeech Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Posted February 8, 2013 I've also been enjoying Flanagan on this Les Spann title. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005OR8W?ie=UTF8&camp=213733&creative=393177&creativeASIN=B00005OR8W&linkCode=shr&tag=eyes0bf-20&=music&qid=1360355973&sr=1-1&keywords=les+spann+gemini Quote
