I'm not sure but none of them are cheap. Is there a better Moog version of Jumpin' Jack Flash tho?

Question for the group: A nice person was kind enough to send me Miles in Tokyo, thought the MOV version
www.musiconvinyl.com
It sounds -- okay. Flat pressing, nice packaging, but... it sounds flat and lacks a lot of depth, especially for the recording in a live hall. The recording/performance itself is pretty interesting, and to hear the conflict between Sam Rivers and Miles is awesome. The sound, at least on first listen, left a lot to be desired.
Does anyone know anything about the MOV source? Mostly, what I really want to know if (okay... it's probably "when") I buy the Japanese Pressing: Am I going to be happy or brokenhearted?
Edit: I'll drop in a new comment so that people can find it in both: though my daughter is practicing guitar in the room next door....while my son plays piano; on a second spin: the recording is better than average on the MOV and I have certainly had worse. Miles is captured well. I'll also (no surprise) try the Japanese pressing. The sense of space, other instruments, hall, balance, etc feels like there could be more.
Miles In Tokyo
Miles in Tokyo is a live album recorded on July 14, 1964, by the Miles Davis Quintet (featuring Sam Rivers, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock and Tony Williams) at the Tokyo Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. It is the first recording of Davis in Japan and the only album to showcase an early...

I do not have personal knowledge here but. Miles Davis - Miles In Tokyo (Miles Davis Live In Concert) has a comment on the 1977 version:
I would assume it's just the recording itself.

I just got that one in a couple of days ago, too! I purchased the cheaper reissue that came out last year and went through the process of exchanging two or three copies through Amazon. All had pressing defects that resulted in incredibly annoying audible glitches. Finally gave up and bought the AP last week. As expected, the AP really smokes the 2022 reissue in every way. Definitely worth the extra $15 bucks if you're interested in this album.
Don't assume. One guy's comments on a website? Not exactly authoritative.
I have the original japanese pressing and it is awesome. A really great concert.

Regarding Albert King's Born Under A Bad Sign, the Speakers Corner pressing is an excellent option as well. Pressed at Pallas, cut by KPG and all-analogue.

So who do we believe?
That one guy on a website or this other guy on a website?
@HuddieLedbetter , I also have the MOV. I'll spin it tonight and let you know if I agree with you.

I have the RSD pressing from 2019 and although its been a while since I last listened, I seem to remember it being pretty great. I will dig it out tomorrow if I remember.

Yeah, he has and they are all hilarious.
That's easy. Look at that guy on Discogs, who also 'reviewed' Agharta and found the 4 Men With Beards was way better than the original.
Like, yeah, I believe that totally. And that George Santos graduated from Harvard. Elvis is alive, BTW.
The original had the Swing Journal Seal of Approval, a very authoritative japanese jazz journal of the time, which means more to me than a guy who has an internet connection and feels the need to share his 'expert opinion' on Discogs.
My favorite is the 4 people who tagged it as "helpful"I have the RSD pressing from 2019 and although its been a while since I last listened, I seem to remember it being pretty great. I will dig it out tomorrow if I remember.

Well, I'm currently spinning Peace Beyond Passion. I've got it next in line, though the side eye from my wife at Sam Rivers may color my listening I'll try to give a decent assessment
Edit: MOV pressing, I've not ordered the Japanese pressing yet...but, well, we'll see what @zdkaiser says....
and order it "just in case?"
