The original UK pressing on Vertigo with the laminated sleeve.. IMO, the original UK Vertigo pressings are the ones to listen to.

Tomorrow some jazz...Miles Davis six-eye Kind of Blue...Not really like Sabbath but

I started with Blues and The Abstract Truth and liked it so I went and got the other three albums.

Tasty!

I think he's on some other albums as a side man and that's great, but I like it when he's the arranger as well.

The same ones that you mentioned, plus others where he appeared with other main artists (just too many albums to check it out).

Among them; "More Blues And The Abstract Truth", "The Blues And the Abstract Truth", ...

* I am checking the major tsunami in Japan right now! It is totally devastating; created by a major earthquake (8.9 on the Richter scale)! Just a couple of hours ago!

Yes indeed, the recording quality is up to it! ...Crank it up!

* And Channel Classics is a very good SACD recording label.
