This is the third remastering on SACD (lst by Universal/US: serviceable but not definitive/the second by AP: don't have it so I cannot critique and the upcoming SHM~SACD from Japan).
I do have three of the AP Impulse SACD releases and can only attest that they sound utterly fantastic and I have a fourth on the Way: Ben Webster: See You At The Fair.
Since they are available on Amazon US from third party vendors at a nice discount (usually $21-22 plus shipping), I consider them a bargain as compared to their Japanese counterparts.
And, as usual, the better your system, the better they will sound because AP is on a roll.
