Is there a best vinyl issue of "A Love Supreme"?

Posted by: dsteady on 20 November 2005

In a couple of weeks I'll take possession of my newly built-up vintage LP12. This will be my first venture into vinyl since I was a kid with a plastic portable and I intend to mark the event with a session of "A Love Supreme". (This return to vinyl was prompted by repeatedly dissapointing sessions with the various CD versions of the work.)

I've found a copy in good condition at a local store here for about 10 bucks, but I wonder if there is something better.

So, is there a vinyl issue of this great work that is just better than all the rest?

Thanks,
Daniel

.... Okay, just discovered Speakers Corner.

I think you'll enjoy anything but MCA pressed versions of a Love Supreme, although I'll venture if it's adigital remaster from the 80's it'll be very acceptable, I have Ballads and it sounds scrumptolicious. OTOH, the most recent CD remaster of a Love Supreme I have found perfectly adequate, i.e. Very Good.
