John Coltrane - My Favorite Things - My Favorite Mastering Engineers - Head-2-Head - BG vs KG vs RKS

After a very excited wait, I have just been listening to the brand new Analogue Productions Atlantic 75 series release of John Coltrane's 1961 blockbuster: 'My Favorite Things'. This absolutely superb new Ryan K Smith all-analogue cut, direct from the original master tapes is presented on 4x45rpm LPs and pressed at the world's number one (in my opinion) pressing plant: QRP. By way of comparison I also listened to the '60th Anniversary' issue (both stereo and mono cuts) again, remastered from the original analogue master tapes, cut this time, by Cohearent Audio's Kevin Gray. Finally, to make this a true contest between the 'HOLY TRINITY' of mastering engineers, I also compare to the 2010 Bernie Grundman cut Rhino remaster, as with both the others, this release was also cut from the original master tapes. So, here we have what are in my opinion, the top 3 remastering engineers in the World, all three using the same source tapes to produce hopefully, the ultimate release of this seminal jazz classic. So, who wins? I purchased my copy from Acoustic Sounds at: https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/18...
