As I said in my post I’ve actually compared an original AP Pablo with an original Pablo and the difference though better in favour of the AP isn’t worth the huge difference.
I was never a great fan of the sonics on original Pablo LPs. Lots of roll-off at the top end and vinyl quality reflective of the 70s oil crisis. Granz pumped money into the operation and released a lot though - I remember well that you could pick up their LPs on any old high street at Smiths and Boots.

I think I’ll wait for the review of this reissue. Verve by Request has issues with mastering at times. The Don Cherry Art Deco reissue is mastered so flat and lifeless you have to turn the volume way up to hear anything. I made a mistake buying it. Tracking Angle panned it for that reason too.
Yes they have been very hit and miss which is why I haven’t been all in with them I’ve got four or five and they are ok not Tone Poet good but ok also the titles I purchased where round the £25 mark the £35 to £40 they are asking now just isn’t good value.

Bob Marley & Friends - The Bob Marley Songbook, Charly (2024)
Disc 2 looks very interesting might wait for vinyl reviews though.
Is is a vinyl reissue of one of the sessions put out on either the previously issued Vol 1 or Vol 2 CDs?
I really couldn’t tell you. I looked in a few places but no luck. Let’s us know if you find anything at all.
Checked the CDs. The Vol 1 CD has one session from 1965 and Vol 2 has two from 1965 so I guess it’s highly likely that the vinyl duplicates material from these sessions.
