For lovers of WSS AND Jazz-
Oscar Peterson Trio
I have the mono version. A great album to spend and evening with. You can envision scenes from the movie while Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen fill your room with beautiful music.
For lovers of the 1961 West Side Story soundtrack lp.
I didn't know where to ask this so I'm asking it here for vinyl fans who love this soundtrack and might have answers,
I see that there are 3 vinyl editions of this soundtrack being sold on Amazon.
The first one is a reproduction of the original lp put out by Sony.
The second is a two lp set which appears to have the expanded cd contents on two lps also put out by Sony. The timing is about the same.
However what is really confusing is that there is another 2 lp version of the soundtrack put out by Music on Vinyl which is more than twice as expensive as the Sony 2 lp set. Does anyone know why? Is there more music? Is the vinyl a better quality?
Of course the Amazon descriptions are as is too frequently the case unhelpful as are the reviews.
Anybody know about this? Anybody have either of these 2 lp gatefolds and know what they contain?
Music on Vinyl says this on their website '
The key words are 'on vinyl.' Weren't they included on the expanded cd? Which would mean they are also on the SONY 2 lp set.
I have misplaced my cd and haven't heard it in many years so I can't reference it.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to decide between the two. Thank you.
