I do not think that it is available on vinyl.
It is a 10 cd's set and I particularly enjoy cd 9 and 10 for the relax way the musicians are playing, sure it maybe not the tightest Ellington performance but it gives us listeners something that just sound so real.
I can really imagine myself being there when listening to it.
The solos by Hodges, Hamilton and others are just marvelous.
There is lots of chatting by the musicians and some you can hear had a little too much, but it ads to the being there feeling.
As far a sound within my system in my room it sounds great, much much better than the Fargo recordings which I like but for other reasons.
I do use this recording sometimes for demo.
