The question is still open for those who own the RVG: is there any technical problem with this edition (such as the one on the Colossus RVG)? If not, of course I will buy the RVG and use a coupon which Borders' has gone insane with (save $10 on a $20 purchase? I went hog-wild last week-end). All the other editions are hard but not impossible to find.

Of course the music comes first, but I don't want to get screwed either. The Colossus debacle is a blight on Concord as well as RVG. He could have done a patch.

I compared three versions: the K2, the SACD en the original vinyl (purple New Jazz label).

The K2 and the SACD sound a bit similar, perhaps the bass on the SACD is slightly more defined (although I played the SACD on a "normal" CD player).

IMO the vinyl version is the winner of the three. On the LP the solo instruments (tenor; guitar) sound louder than the rest of the band (as it should), while on the CD's the drums (cymbals!) and bass are also quite prominent. To my ears the vinyl version has a more natural sound.
