Are 45rpms worth the price?


Looking at a number of reissue 45rpms (Fleetwood Mac, Doors, Hugh Masakela, etc)from Acoustic Sounds. Most sell for $50 (2 lps). All reviews on AS are glowing. Are these 45rpms really worth the high prices being asked?

The answer may well depend what your musical tastes happen to be. If you are a jazz afficianado, $50 for the Music Matters or AP reissues looks like a screaming bargain compared to the $1,000+ prices for some original Blue Notes. OTOH, you can find original pressings of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" for $10 that will sound better than the $50 reissue...
