Best re-issue LP's

I have bought about 15 Speakers Corner LP's and without comparing them to the originals I can't tell how they measure up.

One of the re-issues I bought was John Coltrane Love Supreme. I never liked the LP as both my wife and I thought the drums were mixed too hot and were overpowering.

I bought the original off of E-Bay and it smokes the re-issue. It is mixed as it should be and I now love the LP.

Please list your best sounding re-issues and worst sounding.

Worst -
John Coltrane Love Supreme SC

Best -
Nat King Cole After Midnight Pure Pleasure
Janos Starker Bach SC

To me these 2 sound so good, I can't imagine the originals sounding any better, but I'd like other opinions.

I recently bought the Pure Pleasure re-issue of Stan Getz' "The Best of Two Worlds" 1976, I have the original and this audiophile reprint is VERY good and smokes the original.
I happen to think most of Coltrane's work is poorly recorded in some aspects, the piano especially, with the exception of 'Blue Train' and Lush Life. I think the worst recording is the 2nd Live at the Village Vanguard.
