Coltrane '58: The Prestige Recordings

[Musicophile]

I finally got around to do some (somewhat) critical listening of this new remaster.  To me (streaming the box in Reebok from Qobuz), it sounds better, clearer, more resolving than the Complete Prestige CD boy I have in my library, and even somewhat better, or at least not worse, than the MFSL remaster SACD of Soul Trane.

 

I‘m not sure I’ll buy this again because the SQ increase isn’t night and day and Prestige isn’t particularly audiophile to start with, but of you don’t have these albums, I can really recommend the new remaster, especially at the Qobuz US Sublime price.

Here's my review I just published on my blog:

How the CD box set is presented - any booklets inside etc? Digital versions of course have nothing, nada 😞 Asking also if all the songs are in MONO or some of them?

Tracks 1-15 are mono, the rest in (mainly ping pong) stereo.
