Jazz at the Pawnshop


Can anyone out there tell me if the XRCD version of this great piece of music is worth the additional money. It is out there on many different versions of cd. ( reg. gold,HDCD, XRCD) All opinions are welcome.

Tinman, I own the original LP for both, Cantate Domino and Jazz @ the Pawnshop, and the latter in plain CD. The difference is very marked in favour of vinyl, ambience and timbres leading the show. Don't know how the HD or XRCD compare, though...
I have both the FIM XRCD and original vinyl. I'm with Cornfedboy and Gregm, the vinyl is clearly better to me. But the CD isn't going to leave you wanting so long as you don't listen to the vinyl. Its that ambience and timbres as Gregm notes above.
i have this on half-speed-mastered winyl. the sound quality is excellent. yes, cornfedboy, it still sees time on the platter chez-sedon. never heard any digital wersions, except at a store once...

I thought this was a CD related question. I have no doubt that the vinyl version is better.
