sidewinder Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have had chance to do a bit of cross-checking between LP and CD versions. I used ‘The Beehive’ on LP6 side 2 and CD 5 as a reference. I have to say that in general, both versions the sound is very good indeed. There is quite a difference in the mixes though. The LP version seems to give more prominence to the top and bottom ends, with a Mickey Roker’s ride cymbal and the bass benefitting in particular. More spread across the spectrum. The CD version seems to have a bit more concentration and emphasis into the mid-range. I’d be happy with either version of this set. In any event, the CD version considerably improves on the old 3CD, which was itself a mana from heaven at the time it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I picked this up a few months ago on Amazon for $60 or thereabouts. It is beyond solid. I often imagine what it would be like to see a band this good play live and have that spectator experience. This is really special music.

Holy Ghost Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I have the 3 cd set and with no equivocation, after reading this thread, I'm buying this set. Convinced, done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I’ve seen for this one was £15 I think from HMV in their early 2023 sale. Unfortunately, I already had it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
