Coltrane 24 bit Atlantic 60th Mini Lp CDs - how's the mastering?

[monkboughtlunch]

Does anyone have these 2006 Coltrane Japanese CD imports, which tout 24 bit remastering? How do these masterings compare to the standard US Rhino Atlantic CD remasters or the Heavyweight Box Set from the mid 90s?

If the Japanese remastered in 24 bit, did they use the first generation master tapes or copies?

Hi:

I have Ole Coltrane and My Favorite things. The Ole has a wider soundstage and better bass. I would say it is a tad warmer than the US grey carboard version. The US version is very good, but narrower in scale. You may perfer this though?

I will probably get a few more. By the way these are being reissued in Japan in cheaper editions. I think in jewel cases instead of mini LPs.
