Sonics (S): |
This is only about sound quality. The big question many SA-CD people ask is whether there is a sound quality difference between the JSACD and the US or Euro pressings of KOB...
The European pressed SA-CD has more presence and timbre than my 1997 US pressed CD remaster (CD 64935), but not by a huge margin. The CD sounds pretty good. Recently I finally bought the JSACD to find out for myself whether 'what people say' was true or not. It is. It's better - and by quite a margin I feel. I have the Euro pressed hybrid (Austria) and the JSACD delivered what I was hoping to get: more body (3D presentation), more presence and the sound of the piano was improved upon in terms of clarity, extension and tone.
Now go and get one for yourself... :-)

Performance: Sonics (S/MC): / |
I have to agree with the other review. This JSACD is a much better SACD remaster of this classic album. Having been disappointed with the lack of use of the .1 channel on the Columbia release this mix is far superior giving the bass depth, the piano much more presence and greater clarity overall. The differences are not subtle IMHO. The only downside is it lacks the alternative take of Flamingo Sketches.
The best SACD recording availible of this classic.

| This is definitely the best digital version of this classic but it still falls way short of the Classic reissue on LP.
