full of distortions and siblings

Is it my system? ... maybe ... but others report the same issue for the LP
the SACD is said to have used the 16bit 44kHz data and run it through an DSD converter
Yes, it is awful so you have to be sure to get the original classic records vinyl!

The original Blue Note of 'Not Too Late' is really nice.

Actually I find the original Blue Note to be easily musically superior to the original Classic Records 200 gram version. I remember reading quite some time back of a group in Europe doing a comparison of various versions and they found the CD better than the Classic Records pressing but the original Blue Note the best.

I assume the green label US pressing is the best but, at £150+ for a good copy, I doubt I will have the opportunity to find out.
On Discogs there are 2 UK K46040 Burbank reissue.

Which is the correct version?
