Best re-issue LP's

I have bought about 15 Speakers Corner LP's and without comparing them to the originals I can't tell how they measure up.

One of the re-issues I bought was John Coltrane Love Supreme. I never liked the LP as both my wife and I thought the drums were mixed too hot and were overpowering.

I bought the original off of E-Bay and it smokes the re-issue. It is mixed as it should be and I now love the LP.

Please list your best sounding re-issues and worst sounding.

Worst -
John Coltrane Love Supreme SC

Best -
Nat King Cole After Midnight Pure Pleasure
Janos Starker Bach SC

To me these 2 sound so good, I can't imagine the originals sounding any better, but I'd like other opinions.

While not "audiophile quality," the Speaker Corner reissues of Blues greats are so superior to the originals, I thought they must have found earlier masters than the originals Chess were cut from.

The one's I've bought so far: "Muddy Waters - The Best of Muddy Waters," "Little Walter - The Best of Little Walter," and "Memphis Slim and Willie Dixon - The Blues Every Which Way."

If you like the Blues, these are the reissues to get.
