Speaking for myself there is nothing better in this hobby then owning an original first release of your favorite music on any label.
For me ,that's the icing on the cake.
Especially when it's over 50 years old and the vinyl including the sleeve are in better looking shape then you are.
Mcmprov Dexter Gordons One Flight Up is a fairly good album and yes these so called "hot stamper" Lps certainly do exist.
I was made aware of them in the late 1970s and been experiencing them all I can ever since.
The few 1950s original Blue Note first release, no R on the label, that I have are of my favorite musicians and their music.
For me they are treasures to own.
The King releases are good value if not the best around and I think Music Matters and Analogue Productions are doing a great job with their 45 rpm Blue Note re-issues.
