i have all the reissues.
Classic 33rpm
Classic single disc 45rpm with 'Autumn Leaves".(with a few extra copies).
The AP 45rpm.
The Classic 'red box' stereo 45rpm....and the Classic 'red box' 45rpm Mono.
every one is a winner.....but i would rank them as follows;
i like the Classic 'red box' Stereo best, followed closely by the Mono box. both these are more open on top and have more detail and texture than the AP 45rpm pressing. the Mono even does a few things better (a bit more pace and snap) than the Stereo box in spots but overall, if i could only have one, i'd take the Classic Stereo box. i don't yet have a Mono cartridge, and that could change things.
the Classic single disc of Autumn Leaves is better overall than the AP pressing but it's a little lean on top and so depending on your system balance you could choose either way.
the Classic 33rpm is very good, but the 45's are really a good deal better.
