Blue Note 45rpm reissue

Dan_ed, when I recieved my first two I inspected them very very closely with a magnifing glass, cleaned them carefully with a vpi and re-inspected them. On the second side of one album I found a flaw in the grooves that I could see with the magnifying glass and good light. Absolutely flat on all records and on both sides. I played all LP's at high sound levels and never heard anything other than the music at the sight with the very small visual flaw. I did get a little tube noise from my phono stage at very high sound levels but this was higher than I would play. If the rest of the LP's are the same it will be a super collection. Next two due at my door tomorrow.

I received my first two copies of this series yesterday. They are actually the second two in the series. Guess I'll have to specifically order the first two. I have done a visual inspection of both but only had time to listen to Lou Donaldson. Both sets of LPs are flat. No warps of any kind. The Kenny Drew set did have a seam that didn't take the glue. I chose to re-glue it myself. Otherwise, I can find no physical issues with either set. The LD+3 LPs are very quiet. No issues at all. I'm pleased with them.

Got mine Monday!! excellent quality I only had the chance to Kenny Drew. Dan you answered my question this is the second installment, I too must order the first two.
So there are 64 in all huh?
Might I pose a question to all those who have subscribed or who ar contemplating doing so.
This series is roughly $3,500, does this border on being too expensive?or I it just me?
or just a sound investment? I know everybody is say that depends well let's just talk about it
wondering

Expensive yes, but fantastic music and sound. I just finished listening to the third and forth releases; Lou Donaldson's LD +3 and Kenny Drew's Undercut. So far I love each release. Can these be found use, maybe? Still, getting LP's for $50 may be cheap compared to how much time and effort one would spend trying to find a pristine used LP and that may not as good as these.

Please don't remind me, or my wife, about the $3200.00 for the lot. I've got 5,300 records already and I know its not an investment. Its crazy love of music.

If you're concerned that this series (along with the upcoming BN series from Acoustic Sounds) is 'too expensive':

First, do a search on ebay for what original BN's are selling for. In many cases, in the thousands.

Then, realize that for 50.00, you'll have a brand spanking new, pancake-flat, heavy-vinyl lp that will have better sonics (45 rpm, careful re-mastering, fewer copies), super-low noise, and, as an added bonus, fantastic Wolf photos on a gatefold cover.

Plus, they'll probably rise in value through the years.

That's about as good a 'value' as you'll find in the world of hi fi.
