Jazz reissues on Blue Note and Prestige have been excellent. I have compared originals such as Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch" between my near mint original pressing and the reissue and the reissue stands up shockingly well.
I still think the original has a deeper soundstage, a 'blacker' background (if you will), and more detailed highs. But the reissue is damn good.
Other reissues that have impressed me are the Sun Ra saturns and Coltrane's impulse recordings such as "A Love Supreme" and "Sun Ship".
