Adventures in collecting "modern jazz": the classical music of America from the Fifties and Sixties, and a little Seventies, on original vinyl, on a budget, from England. And writing about it, since 2011. Travelling a little more widely nowadays, and at lower cost
I have yet another U.K. version (HMV – E.M.I.) of an Impulse album, stereo CSD 1502. Duke and Trane. This one has a light turquoise label with the dog and a gold circle all around. It has a promo sticker on one side (not for sale).

That copy of “A Love Supreme” is from 1969. The giveaways are the double flip-back jacket and labels with “The Gramophone Co.” rim text.

How do these sound in comparison to American “Impulse!?” Has anyone done a comparison?

I did a quick comparison of my original mono Impulse with my friend’s UK HMV mono. No significant or discernible difference.
