    SUPER big fan of the different mixes(?) of the tracks in here!! whenever im streaming SOM digitally and Body & Soul comes up i start yearning for the mix in this pressing oh its so great <3

      My copy is in perfect physical shape and sounded perfect. This is one of the most clear and quiet pressings I own.

      This is a great compilation. The dynamic range is ridiculous and it filled the room with beautiful music.

        I wasn't quite as lucky as most seem to have been - my copy is rather badly warped (record weight helps though), and has a lot of pops and clicks. Also lacks a lot of low end compared to the originals, and the highs are sometimes almost ear piercing... Too bad, I was looking forward to having these tracks on one record.

          This item for lovers of the band is beautiful but purchased and compared to the initial version the sound volume is much lower than expected and does not have the bass of the original,
          very disappointed,
          the new business formula of RSD day !!

              Is there a also a white cover version (the Body and Soul side)? I saw one on ebay, but I#m not sure if this is legit.

                I bought this mainly to have a clean copy. Well, it is not completely silent but silent enough that I'm not annoyed. Convenient to have these tracks on one record and this way the old 45 RPM versions don't become redundant for people who care about such details. The outstanding track on this one to me is 'Afterhours' and indeed the soundquality goes up a notch on this one. I really do not get why Andrew has stopped releasing records as he could do so in this day and age with next no promo and they would still sell. No interviews or mediawhores needed. Indeed it would be a nice middlefinger to do it without these kind of people involved.

                  Beautiful pressing…the color and moreover, the sound!! The range is brilliant with absolutely no surface noise present. Amazed with this RSD release!

                    Excellent sounding pressing. No surface noise at all on my copy. Looks great as well. So happy I picked this up!
