It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Sources And Remasters

Tom-
My observations were meant to be a general view of RVG's work. Obviously, there are any number of exceptions to the statements I made.

My sources are:

vinyl BN's (a few early pressings, and more later pressings in my collection)

McMaster late 80s/early 90s cds

RVG's

Connoisseurs: cd and analog vinyl reissues

Other analog vinyl reissues (Lee Morgan's "Candy" by Classic is the latest one, and a very nice sounding one at that, with nice, fat bass and Sonny Clark's piano quite clear).

Yes, as the sound on some of the remasters would indicate, better sound may be possible to get out of the original masters. But, that was another point in my article. While others get a better, deeper bass sound and clearer piano, Van Gelder himself continues to make his remasters commit the very same mistakes he made originally.
