Insane Sound Battle Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Liberty RVG vs King Record Premium Reissue!

ByTakashi May 4, 2021May 4, 2021

I know this is insane and ridiculous but I had to do it!

Welcome back to the JBJ Jazz lab.

Yes, this time I did a sound battle between Liberty Blue, White Label RVG vs King Record Premium Reissue. The sample I picked up is

Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue

Although King Record Premium reissue is great in sound quality, nobody thinks that King Record can beat the Liberty RVG, right? I know...

I just wanted to listen how these 2 copies sound, how they are different! So, that is what I did.

The results...

Just listen to the samples above and give me your thoughts!!
