Music Matters Blue notes


I have Art Blakey's "Night in Tunisia", and I think it's the classic 180g re-issue.
The sound is pretty good (maybe a little bit dry) but the soundstage is fairly limited. I am just wondering if the Music Matters version would be that much better? Any thoughts from people who have both? Or other MM re-issues in cases where they also have stereo re-issues?
Thanks for your help,

Maybe I'm so used to the RVG piano sound that I find I am able to listen around it. I agree, the Mobley album is spectacular, even better than the 200 gm version.
AFAIK Classic Records never did Art Blakey's "Night in Tunisia". Does it have "BG" in the dead wax? If it doesn't and it's 180g I suspect it is a Scorpio re-issue which was taken from the CD. The sound on the MM issue should be a huge step up.
A bit off subject: The only version of "Night in Tunisia" that I've managed to hang onto is from "Live at Birdland I" with Clifford Brown, Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, and Curley Russell. It's a bit perfunctory in some parts but is snappy and has a spontaneous raucous edge I like.

Music Matters SRX pressing of Night in Tunisia is one of the best sounding jazz record reissue I've heard.  It sounds very live, especially the drums, yet it's a studio recording.
