Popular Post jrobbins50 Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 A compelling argument for best of BJ albums. I’m usually torn between 52nd Street and Turnstiles. I pulled my vinyl Turnstiles collection tonight, which includes a Japanese pressing, an advance promotional copy and a test pressing. I’ve never sat to compare the sound quality of those as against the analog and digital versions you reviewed. I promise to listen over the next several weeks and report back here which I prefer. Turnstiles was also released in Quadraphonic. While I have never heard the vinyl release in that format, I do have a DTS multichannel transfer of it from vinyl. It’s an entirely different way of deconstructing the soundtrack. A complete unedited copy of the two Carnegie Hall shows is yet to be found in the wild to my knowledge. The folded promo poster for the Carnegie shows in the 30th anniversary box set is a digital transfer from the only known original, in our home. I’ve attached a photo of it for comparison. The University of Connecticut show is also available on the B side of a Columbia promo sampler called Souvenir. Bootleg versions abound with the record’s label designation on the spine transposed and there is also a bootleg picture disc version. Handball is not on the promo sampler but I do have a second recording of it from an early European show, although I can’t readily tell you which one offhand. The rendition of New York State of Mind on the promo sampler and the Time Life video you reference is one of the best, period. Cheers. JCR Nikhil and The Computer Audiophile 2 Link to comment
