How would you describe the SQ and where did you buy it?

Thanks!

    Thanks, but looking for the new one. I believe there is an SACD, but can't seem to find out much about it other than the music is good. May have to settle for a redbook copy.

    Acoustic Sounds only has the Vinyl listed, and 1 reviewer said it was a noisy pressing.

    I just picked up the vinyl, it's recorded very well and got lucky in regards to noise.

    I ended up buying the red book cd. The sound quality is variable. Some tracks sound good; others not so much.
    The songwriting also varies (imho) from good to meh. Worth having, but not stellar.
