Snackeyp, if you think Trane was a bomb listen to Henry Threadgill. 
Get;  Rag, Bush and All,  To Much Sugar for a Dime and Where's Your Cup.
Got the entire collection, awesome analog to analog, very well priced at Amazon, Kevin Gray what can I say.

BN80 and Tone Poet (along with MM and Classic Records 200g series and Speaker's Corner but they don't issue Blue Notes) are all analog. Wax Time, and other Euro brands that issue cheaper Blue Notes and older jazz records are unofficial and sourced from CDs after the copyrights ran out. Keep this in mind. There's basically no reason to buy those other than aesthetics.

Best bang for the buck are also all the OJC (Original Jazz Classics) issued in the 80's, they are all analog and are easy to find for $5 - $25 range depending on condition and rarity. Typically cheap.

I have a pretty decent collection of BN originals, all three reissues: MM, BN80, and TP are excellent comparatively.
Nitewulf,
A case can be made for WaxTime, sound quality is similar the basic Blue Note re-issues.  Records are well made, 180 gram vinyl, clean, quiet surfaces, with centered spindle holes!  Packaging includes poly-lined dust covers and nice artwork.  In addition to the original liner notes, there is always updated information and in most cases one or two additional cuts per side.  Most importantly, the company is issuing music that is long out of print and hard to find used if excellent condition is important.  I recently purchased an entire set of Oscar Peterson Trio recordings each focused on a major songsmith.  Gershwin, Kern, Arlen, Berlin, Porter etcetera.  I have been trying for a while to get clean copies of these and they are hard to find.  Interestingly enough, the WaxTime ones all sound better than the few originals I have.
