Best Pressing Recommendations Please

Classic records (www.classicrecs.com) has released some of these titles and they are excellent. They also released some as single sided 45's and they are magnificent. Unfortunately, some have already sold out, but you see them on eBay for a premium price. Impulse reissued the Coltrane titles on 180 gram vinyl a while back and they are also very good.

I agree with the above, as far as The Doors , DCC has the best vinyl pressing. I don't belive there is a current pressing of Brubeck's Gone with the Wind, you will probably have to find a used copy . Good luck, I have every title you listed on vinyl and they all sound excellent.

I agree with both of the posts above. The Classic reissues have been criticized in the past for being less sweet or lush sounding than the originals, but they're just getting you closer to the master tape, IMO. They are quieter, more dynamic and have better bass than the originals, and to me that more than offsets the slight loss of some of the warmth of the originals. I like the DCC reissues as well, although I have noted on many of the ones I have from them that the tonal balance seems fuller, more tilted to the bass than the originals, which seem to have more treble energy. Anyone else notice this, or do I just have mediocre original pressings?
