I haven't noticed a difference in the various live nights of the VVanguard set. I agree that the piano is poorly recorded in lots of the albums. "Standard Coltrane" in the sacd version sounds great. Don't know about the reissued LP's.
Best re-issue LP's
I have bought about 15 Speakers Corner LP's and without comparing them to the originals I can't tell how they measure up.
One of the re-issues I bought was John Coltrane Love Supreme. I never liked the LP as both my wife and I thought the drums were mixed too hot and were overpowering.
I bought the original off of E-Bay and it smokes the re-issue. It is mixed as it should be and I now love the LP.
Please list your best sounding re-issues and worst sounding.
Worst -
John Coltrane Love Supreme SC
Best -
Nat King Cole After Midnight Pure Pleasure
Janos Starker Bach SC
To me these 2 sound so good, I can't imagine the originals sounding any better, but I'd like other opinions.
