Best LP edition of Jazz at the Pawnshop?

I also have two of the these. One is the Audiosource pressed 7778/7779, which as Mike L states above is better sounding than the later pressing and I have a 7778 Prophone, which is the German pressing...and not quite as great as the 7778/7779; although very good indeed, and depending on mood might be preferred.

I think these two are the ones to seek out.

i have two of them (1) is the early Prophone Records #PROP 7778 from 1990. Pressed at Pallus in Germany, but the better one is (2) the 1977 Propius from Audiosource pressed in Japan.#PROP 7778/7779. there have been other releases since but never went there as these two were so good. so cannot really say how it compares. i own the FIM HDCD CD box and the FIM dsd box too (but no disc player at the moment).

i also have a 1st gen master 15ips 1/4" tape dub (4 reels) off what likely was the Original Master Tapes. had it for 20+ years and it is still sparkling fresh sounding. an interesting aspect of these tapes is that when Paul Stubblebine and Winston Ma were doing the digital transfer in 1997, it was discovered that they were originally recorded using the Nagra Mastering Curve, not CCIR as had been thought. of course, that was what was used to produce the digital then, and my dub. i wonder if later mastering points for vinyl (or tape?) had been aware of that? no idea.

i have to be in the mood for JINPS but no one can argue it’s not an excellent live recording with much to offer. i sometimes play it for visitors and always get raves. pulses with energy.
