Your theory doesnt hold up in this case. the LP in question was
mastered by Bernie Grundman who has stated that there was no EQ
applied to this title when he cut it. The bass was cut flat. In fact
the original LPs were also cut the same way.

Who did what seems to be in question here. "The aforementioned
Classic Record release was mastered by the recording's original
producer, Wilma Cozart Fine who also remastered all of the Living
Presence recordings (including the CD of this performance) for
Philips in the
1990's."

Does the reissue sound just like the original vinyl?

I don't know. I don't have a copy of the original Living Presence pressing
(1960). I do have a Philips re-release from the 1980s, though. It doesn't
sound as as good as either the CD or the Classic Records remastering.


If you are
correct then it would seem that the 45 RPM and single sided cut aspect
of the reissue is just marketing ploy. They didn't take advantage of
the increased bandwidth it affords.

I dunno. The 45/single sided Classic Records remeastering just sounds better
than any commercial recording I'v ever heard. I've made live recordings using
DSD that sound as good, but then, they're not commercially released
recordings.
