John Coltrane A Love Supreme Acoustic Sounds 33 1/3 vs Analogue Productions 45

Hello. Would anyone care to comment on which version sounds better and if it's worth the price difference?  I have a Pro-ject Debut Carbon (with acrylic platter) with an Ortofon 2M Blue Cart.  This is going through a Sansui B-2101 200 wpc amp into ADS L1290 speakers.  And I'm 61 years old so my hearing isn't like it used to be. 

Thanks

I suspect you will be quite satisfied with the 33 1/3 unless you have a lot of audiophile 45 rpm reissues but I haven't heard both.

The 33 1/3 is on its way to my house as we speak. Don't wait too long.

I have already bought and have it (just haven't opened it up yet).  Also bought Ballads and listened to it.  A friend has a new copy of A Love Supreme (AP 45) for $50.

I paid $26.99 for both Ballads and A Love Supreme on Amazon.

My copies of the new issues of A Love Supreme and Ballads arrived today.  Played them this afternoon and all I can say is I am very satisfied.  The ALS version is the best one I've ever heard.  Sadly, this album has been reissued many times with sub-par quality control.  The QRP pressing is really nice.
