lps from "classic records" as awesome as axis bold

My experience with reissues has been very mixed, especially with Classic pressings.

For example, my Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain have so much surface noise, you'd think they were 40 years old and had been lying around outside of the jacket for all that time.

I am now finding that a lot of my old vinyl, while not perfectly quiet, sounds superior to most reissues. YMMV.

Jazz reissues on Blue Note and Prestige have been excellent. I have compared originals such as Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" between my near mint original pressing and the reissue and the reissue stands up shockingly well.

I still think the original has a deeper soundstage, a 'blacker' background (if you will), and more detailed highs. But the reissue is damn good.

Other reissues that have impressed me are the Sun Ra saturns and Coltrane's impulse recordings such as "A Love Supreme" and "Sun Ship".

well I guess I will stick with the sacd miles Davis kind of blue then!

What about coltrane "bluetrane" on heavyweight vinyl versus sacd?

I'm having good luck with the Analogue Productions vinyl I have tried so far. I'm listening to Bill Evan's "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" right now and it's sounds wonderful. It's like I'm in the club. Kills my CD of the same music.

Dear Audiohifila,
I had the original U.S. Atco Peter Gabriel (as usual, the US pressing had distortion and noisy vinyl, then found the original UK pressing Charisma label and thought how could it be any better?
Decided to try the Classic and WOW IMHO much better in every way over US and UK pressings.
