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.

The best reissues I have yet heard are from Fone. Very expensive but most are cut at 45RPM and some are 4 sided (1 blank side). Some of them are reissues from the incredible sounding VTL Vital recording label of the 90's (David Manley recordings).

For new issues, try Venus. Absolutely fantastic music and sonics.
