Sonny Rollins - “Best” Saxophone Colossus CD?

Title says it. Looking for opinions on the best cd version of Saxophone Colossus.
Looking on Discogs there are multiple Prestige versions and some others so wondering which to get.
and... If you have other Rollins recommendations ( I have Way Out West- which I love) or even other recordings I might like.
and, yes I get it... cd’s are not vinyl or streaming... but it’s what I got! Thank you all.

i have both a 20 bit and an SACD and they both sound damn fine to me.
oh and i have a second mono pressing of this stupendous album for my analog setup.

Do you happen to know the disc Catalog number and who made it for the 20 bit version? Then I’ll just order that one... thanks

dan, I don’t have a sacd player but have found that the non sacd portions of those are often very good.

I second the suggestion to ask at the Steve Hoffman Forums -- there is a music forum in which people know all about various releases of most stuff.

The SH Forums also have a lot less snobbery and sniping going on than at some other audio fora, which makes it a pleasant place to ask.

Zimick, that's very true. I don't know if there are just CD's available but I believe the Analog Productions are hybrid, w/both CD and SACD layers on the discs.

BR,
