Bill Evans The Village Vanguard Sessions

I just bought this 2 lp 1973 recording second hand. Its great....my question is how much better are the new issues of this music.

This set encompaases both of the albums known as Live at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby (maybe a few other tracks as well. What is also great about it is that it is all in the order it was played.

I think I also have a couple of these on 45 rpm as well. Now you tell me I need to get the 3 CD set to be able to play them in the order they were recorded? Let's get real! Randy

The SACD sounds much better, IMHO. Don't know about the others though. Enjoy, Bob
