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.
