Today I received the new (used) copy of the Maynard Ferguson's "Stratospheric" 2LP record from a great seller on EBay. It looks nice and clean, stamped with Demo on the front, and an original insert has the full list of reissues on this series.  It probably came from a radio station library.

The new copy sounds much better overall. The dynamic range is improved, much more background detail, especially in Maynard's articulation and the band's instruments tone. But some of the problems remain, now I know they are mastering or recording mistakes. Too bad these were never brought to CD. But the Clifford Brown LP that I have from this set was cut from master tapes, while the later CD versions of same tracks from Japan were dubbed from LP.

Maynard's intense trumpet tone brings out the evil in my current midfi speakers, Infinity Entra 1. Time to get cooking on the next speaker build!

Was at crackhouse Wed, and picked up 2 MF albums in the new arrival bin, but put them back as I don't know his body of work. Would 'Conquistador' been worth taking? Forget the other, might of been 'Chameleon'. Either worth acquiring?
