My favorite Bill Evans LP set is The Village Vanguard sessions released exclusively on Mosaic. This was the last recording Bill made before his death. The passion and introspective playing on this multi album set is the finest jazz piano performance since "Waltz for Debbie."
I agree with the responses on this thread, except for Marakanetz. I seldom ( if ever ) disagree with his point of view. However, I own all the original Doors releases as well as the new DCC represses.
My original recordings are dead quiet, equal to the new DCC. However, Jim Morrison's voice is more intense detailed and dynamic on the originals. The drums are cleaner and faster on the original, with micro detail that escapes the repress. The DCC is warmer, ( which can be nice ) particularly the mid bass. I attribute this to the tubes used in the DCC remastering and pressings.
If you do not own any copies of the Doors, and have an opportunity to buy DCC pressing in sealed or perfect condition, do it!
I am just saying that the original LP, pressed when the tape was 30 years younger, possesses certain characteristics that are absent in the new pressings.
