What CD sound is the best?

On a side note neither King Crimson, nor The Moody Blues, have even been nominated I am pretty sure to be in the R&R hall of fame to date. No ELP either.

On a brighter note, Yes is nominated this year and will surely make it, FWIW.

Great art doesn't just go away though. Hopefully, each will get all the recognition they deserve.

no matter what's being tried to re-master, very seldom i would like it vs. the first release. particularly in king crimson 'court of the...' it's never outperformed an original release.

-RW-: Thanks for reminding me of the "Cunfusion.." being slipped in. I totaly forgot about that. I think I have an ELP live LP (the one with 3 LP's?) that has it recorded.
Sheesh, hope we did'nt hijack this thread too much.

Late to the game, but my comments ...

It is not even close when comes to King Crimson's Court. The 40th Anniversary edition not only sounds superior to all other CD editions, but also sounds the closest to the original vinyl from 1968. The 30th anniversary edition is positively raw sounding ... truly a strange mix.

The SACD version of the Moody's Lost Chord from 7 years ago is equally superior sounding to the original CD release.
