After hearing side 1 from both lps, I have to say I’m surprised. The OP sounds warmer than I remembered, that classic analog sound. My memory of the Classic Records version was, in a word, muddy. I realize now that my previous system/room was the reason for that memory. The opening track...has a wider soundstage than the OP (it seems to want to extend forever), the low bass is more audible in a good way. I believe previously, this was the main reason for me using the word "muddy". This lp has some really low bass info. My system/room can now decipher it enough to be enjoyable. The performers are spread across the ss with plenty of room between them. Listening at the same volume level, the CR lp has a little more output.
