Shepp’s (and everyone else’s) BYG/Actuel recordings are being reissued, apparently mastered from the original tapes. I recently got the CD of Blasé and it does sound better than the older CD issue (and original BYG vinyl pressings were inconsistent at best).https://bygrecords.bandcamp.comhttps://www.bygrecords.com/actuel-series

At least some of the digital versions of the BYG records were taken from noisy vinyl copies.
