Jazz at the Pawnshop


Can anyone out there tell me if the XRCD version of this great piece of music is worth the additional money. It is out there on many different versions of cd. ( reg. gold,HDCD, XRCD) All opinions are welcome.

praudio: as far as i know, all the pressings, from the "original" vinyl to the fim xrcd2 version, use the same proprius master. no matter. IMHO, this audiophile warhorse needs to be put out to pasture and rested for a bit; perhaps there's a mare out there with which it might mate and bring to us the next generation of great swedish performances of american jazz. -kelly
praudio: yes, the pressings are all different. i don't have as many versions as you. i have the swedish lp's and cd's and the xrcd produced by fim. the vinly is clearly the most sonically satisfying to my my ears, followed by the xrcd (don't have hdcd- so i've never tried the fim version with that "enhancement"). -kelly
