i also love this recording.
i don't have an original pressing.
i have both the DCC 33 and the AP 45.
the DCC is great; but everything the DCC does the 45 goes one better. the 45 particularly has more space and depth, more bite, less a sense of a recording, the drum kit has more articulation and dynamic life, the 45 swings more, has more ease and flow, the sax is bigger and bolder, and on and on. tonally; they are similar and the DCC is excellent in that area.
these are mostly small differences; you just see farther into the recording on the 45 verses looking at the recording on the DCC.
i am a subscriber to 'The Tape Project' and 'Saxophone Colossus' is due to arrive in the next couple of months. that would be a 15ips 1/4" first generation master dub (off a 1" working master) of this beauty. i cannot wait to compare the tape to the 45.
