At this very moment, Oscar Peterson Trio Live at The Blue Note, but seeing the cover of Blues For Allah, I may just pull out the SACD copy I recently got from Mo-FI.  Surpising (or not), it doen't really sound any better than my original LP from 45 years ago.  The music never stopped.

Bill, it is such a well produced album that I wondered how much better they could make it, but I think they did a really fine job.

Hey Greg, good on Thriller—it may be time to replace my original. I also prefer the 33’s.
