James Brown Live at the Apollo 180g

I was just wondering if anybody has compared the 180g to the original recording, and if so, is the reissue worth the purchase price-Cheers

It seems like many of the reissue 180g LP's are good, but the inner sleeve packing just stinks and is really "gritty". My advise is to take it out gently, clean it thoroughly, and place it in a nice MFSL rice paper sleeve. I think I paid $13-$14 at Best Buy for it. Hope this helps.

The sealed one has a minimum bid of $69.95, but that's to be expected. My local Best Buy has some LPs, but nothing as cool as a JB at the Apollo reissue.
