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.
