This one, a limited edition of 3,000 and mastered by Shawn R. Britton.
Previously released as a multi-channel SACD way back in 1999 Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison and there seems to have been varied opinions as to the sonic merits of this version. It also had bonus tracks added and is uncensored.
We now have the album as originally released - No bonus tracks and the sweary bit bleeped. I'm very happy that they have stayed true to the original release here.
The mastering sounds very good, especially considering the recording equipment they had and the difficult environment. It is very alive and immediate with the performance/recording warts adding to the energy and realness of it all.
And of course, the defining humanity of the album shines through better than ever.
It is unlikely that there will be a better version so get it while you can.
