Like there are three 2 cd sets available:
The one Sony put out in 1999, which uses the original laquers that
BG owned and turned over to Columbia in 1950;
A version put out by Avid (UK);
A version put out by Jasmine (UK);
And a version put out by some Spanish outfit.
I do not see how the non-Sony versions can improve on what Sony did. At
most, improvements will be marginal.
And I will bet a non-trivial sum of money that Avid, Jasmine, et. al.
used the Sony version for their own "master".
My comments do not apply to LP versions, or versions using LPs as a
prime source.
