Bud Powell Roost sessions
Gang —
What is the best sounding option for Bud’s Roost material? I have the Blue Note box from the mid ‘90s that includes the Roost stuff, but I’d like to sell it because I have all the BN material on LP or later CDs that trump the sound of the box. But that would leave me without the essential early Roost session.
So, options?
In 2012, I compared the timings of the various reissues of the Roost material:

Specifically, the correct timings are charted here (the "Roulette" column is the earlier edition with incorrect pitch): http://www.organissimo.org/forum/uploads/monthly_12_2012/post-850-0-90230300-1355239762.jpg
