'Time Out' Classic Records vs. Acoustic Sounds


Has anyone had a chance to compare the Classic Records re-issue of Brubeck's 'Time Out' against the new 45 rpm re-issue by Acoustic Sounds (Quality Record Pressing)? I own the former and it sounds very good but anything coming out of QRP these days sounds fantastic.

Thanks!

I picked up my copy of the Acoustic Sounds re-issue last week. I don't own the Classic Records re-issue, but I do own a pristine 2-Eye (2nd press) stereo copy and a NM- 6-eye mono copy. The Acoustic Sounds re-issue easily bests both of the originals: more dynamic range, especially noticeable in the drums/cymbal and more air in Desmond's horn.

Both records in this re-issue are perfect - - totally flat/zero pops or other defects.

You will not be disappointed.

(If only Acoustic Sounds could get the rights to reissue Kind of Blue in 45 rpm with the same talent involved in producing the Take Five re-issue- - - that would be a gift from above.)
Rmohler - I agree with your impressions of QRP vs MoFi. Let us know what you think about *Time Out* after your copy arrives and you've given it a good listen.
