In Reply to: Sound quality of Rhino's "Coltrane: Heavyweight Champion" LP Set..... posted by Redbook on September 11, 2006 at 12:59:17:
the originals of most of those I have. They are not as hard to find, obviously, as your average BN 1500 series. Maybe they didn't take as much care with the production- hey, it was Atlantic. But those records sold alot more than your typical Blue Note- it was a major label. The music, as you know, will make you levitate. Here is a case where I think you'll find the originals at equal to or less than the price than the reissues if you look a bit. If you find trashed, danced- to, reefer rolled copies, keep looking, they are out there. IMHO "clean" copies of Trane on Atlantic is a relative term; the only clean thing might be your soul after listening to them. But how good can 180g reissues be, soundwise, of records that, again soundwise, were not that well recorded to start with? Get the originals and turn them up-
PPS Corrections more than welcome from anyone with the reissues who maintains otherwise- I thought long and hard about buying that box before deciding that it was not worth it for me...
