Is the UHQR reissue corrected for the speed error inherent in the original tape? I’m not sure that would be a good thing. I am conditioned to the off speed version, since that day I took the bus into downtown New Haven, owing to the fact I was too young to drive, in order to buy the original in 1958. I own several of the many reissues since then, as well, one of which I think is speed corrected. I can't recall my impression of that one version, but I have a feeling it would sound too bright. There is something dark about the music which makes it irresistible and probably has something to do with its slightly erroneous pitch.
Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital
I have not bought a vinyl record since CDs came out, but have been exposed to numerous claims that vinyl is better. I suspect jazz may be best placed to deliver on these claims, so I am looking for your recommendations.
I must confess that I do not like trad jazz much. Also I was about to fork out A$145 for Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" but bought the CD for A$12 to see what the music was like. I have kept the change!
I love the jazz in the movie Babylon, which features local Oz girl Margo Robbie (the film, not the jazz).
So what should I buy?
