Prof. sez:

The Band of Gypsys album has had many LP and CD releases.
However, when it comes to the best soundquality there are only two issue's that really matter: the 1st US pressing on Capitol in 1970 with the RL (stands for Robert Ludwig) initials in the dead wax and the 1997 vinyl re-issue as cut by Eddie Kramer and George Marino from the original analogue 2-track mix down tapes which is used for this release. These two make all the CD's & all other Lp's presses sound like dogshit (IMO, and I heard them all). The RL Capitol pressing and the EK/GM reissue do not exactly sound alike: the RL has a more smoother sounding mid-range but at the same time it does not have same clarity and realism of the EK/GM. It's THAT good. I just wished EH could have given all the other Hendrix albums the same treatment.
