    I really not sure I can comment on the other "Rudy van Gelder Edition" CDs, but this is just unpleasant all around... I don't know what the DR rating is on this is, but it is LOUD, almost distorted, (think Iggy's notorious Raw Power), compressed, zero "atmosphere" or ambience, whatever subjective term you want to use here...I've got several earlier vinyl versions, and the first original US CD 80s release, and this verges on the unlistenable. This is a masterpiece, and my suggestion would be to try to find ANY version previous to this mastering, in whatever format you choose. I was thinking of getting one of the more recent vinyl reissues to have a nice new clean copy, but if they're using anything like this mastering I'm not sure I want to hear it. Just kind of throwing this out here as a warning, because really, you can trust me on this one... this ain't good. The Iggy Raw Power reference kind of stands here, I don't know if this thing is brickwalled or what, but it really comes close to being unlistenable. Had to turn the volume WAY down, and even then...almost at the level of digital clipping. RVG is definitely one of the legends of recording, my God how many masterpieces does this guy have under his belt??? But this CD...avoid. I even took it in my car to try it on a different system, as well as running it on a Blu-ray player thru the HT system. Mindboggling...
    Update: found a DR rating online of 09, supposed to be this mastering but it's from an Apple lossless codec, so I'm not quite sure that's exactly accurate for the CD itself... but I did actually dig up the 1987 US CD and we are talking night and day difference... the DR rating on that CD is 15. This is not a corksniffing, yeah maybe my Golden Ears can hear a slight difference thing, had to completely change the volume settings Etc. The 87 CD sounds like music; you know, a band playing in an actual studio...anyway, the older CDs and vinyl pressings aren't even that expensive you may want to just skip this one.
