Vintage vinyl or new reissues?

I've had the opposite impression regarding the recent sundazed reissues. My Blond on Blond is absolutely terrible. I dont know if I just got a bad copy or what.

One thing to bear in mind is that "good" and "bad" are not very descriptive. Different people like different things and different systems will show up different things. Not everyone likes "cleaner", or "warmer'" or "brighter" or whatever.

Ive got all the fantasy 45's released to date and many of the originals in excellent condition to compare them with playing back on a high quality system. In almost every case the 45's improve on the originals, more so on riversides and fantasy than say blue note and also with some classic record reissues at 33. even some of the ojc's hold thier own next to many originals. the point is that the really prime titles in mint condition on say bluenote are going to be impossible to find and prohibitively expensive and many of the reissues are as good or better.

Several of us would surely like you to elaborate on the "more so" comparisons if you have the time to do so.

Congratulations on your considerable investment into the
45's working out.

Many of my reissue purchases have never been unsealed due to out of service turntables for a period of years. Now,
just like rare originals, many of them may be too valuable to open and play.
