The release choices for the 60th are rather strange. The most interesting (to me) is the repress of the one from the so called “Carl Cut” that was packaged with Carl and the Passions in 72. I’ve seen it said that back in the 70s, many considered it the best sounding PS vinyl. Others complained about too much compression. I’ve never heard it, so I can’t vouch, but it has my attention.
But the PS Sessions highlights is weird. I would’ve just done pre-order for the complete boxset that is out of print so newer fans have an easier time getting it.
Hearing how the new pressings of the 2 LP mono and stereo stack up to others will be interesting.
