At least that's what it says on my CD sleeve, and you can hear the added
distortion,
probably much more clearly on ESLs.

Dunno. Haven't seen that so maybe not. It is the box set with 2CDs, a DVD,
and a (transparent blue) Vinyl LP. Out of curiosity and for convenience I
made a 96/24 recording of the LP. Sounds OK, but has the usual 'bonuses'
for an LP. Ripple warp on the rim, some ticks and pops, and one side
clearly (pun) pressed off-center.

At least that's what it says on my CD sleeve, and you can hear the added
distortion, probably much more clearly on ESLs.

Pass on that at present for the reasons already mentioned.

Although I've also recently bought the 'All Miles' set of the 'Prestige'
albums. Some of those seem very loud and with signs of overload. However
for all I know the orginal recordings and LPs were the same...

Still, in both cases I enjoy the music.

Slainte,

Jim
