brownie Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I have the mono original with the VanGelder stamp. Great record, great sound. Don't have a second copy and never bothered with reissues of it! Quote
JohnS Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I have a UK HMV mono issue. But in my rather limited experience the best way to hear Impulse recordings is the original vinyl. Quote
sidewinder Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I have the UK mono too - sounds good, nice full sound. I've always viewed those HMVs as 'comparable' sonically with the original Impulses. Quote
kh1958 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 I have two copies, stereo and mono, both with orange/black labels, Van Gelder imprint. Quote

I've always viewed those HMVs as 'comparable' sonically with the original Impulses. Agree! I bought several of those HMVs (still have a couple of them somewhere) and found the sonics excellent. However being a snob, I prefered to get the original Impulses (the gatefold jacket was missing from the HMVs)! Quote
JohnS Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Just pulled my copy out. It's a stereo. Did they still issues mono copies in 1967? Mine has the 'Stereo playable as mono' paragraph on the reverse of the jacket. In any event it sounds pretty good. Edited September 13, 2011 by JohnS Quote

I've 'A Love Supreme' in mono - from slightly earlier though. Just checked Archie Shepp 'On This Night' and that is definitely mono. Quote
JSngry Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 To take a little bit of a left turn (but still stay in the neighborhood), wtf/htf did that first CD issue get so jacked, what with the ghosting and stuff? How does that happen.How does that get allowed? Quote
