Perhaps not well regarded by some............

The Classic DAD remains the definitive but the RVG of Something Else is not as forward as some others in the RVG series. Also, the Stereo Panning is reduced to almost a Mono mix, which is closer in sound to the the original LP releases. Those who have the 50's and 60's releases on Vinyl are much more sympathetic to the RVG remasters and their Mono bias

The fact that it was Rudy who made the original recordings as well as being present during them, is also a factor worth considering. He has also expressed his desire to make the Remaster closer to how he felt they sounded "live".

Anyway, if one likes the Music, there are many recordings which one can choose from, but the 24/96 (also 24/192 on the same disc) remains definitive IMHO

Now back to regular programming.......
