Blue Note 45rpm reissue


I am suprised that I can't find much discussion concerning the new Blue Note 45rpm reissue's from Music Matters. I got my first two and they are wonderful! Very quiet and dynamic. Solid classic jazz. Sound stage is deep and on a few occasions I jumped up because of a noise in my kitchen, (off the music room), or a knock on the door only to find out that the sound stage has expanded further into the room. Anyone else try these out or heard any other offerings than the first two?

I just got notification of the next two being sent. I did end up subscribing direct from Music Matters for the full 64 lps. It will take away from my general music fund however I am discovering that I cannot have all the music, vinyl, that I want. Yet.
Dan_ed, check the web site, www.musicmattersjazz.com, they address the mono vs. stereo well. I am not sure if they are still taking subscription orders or not, they were very helpful when I called. The site also discusses their special jackets etc.
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.
Just got my reciept, the next two are on the way! I have listened to the first two sets from music matters and they are a little different the the originals, much quieter. In some ways I have learned to appreciate the "record player ambience" of the old deep grooves I have in my collection. But boy do I like these new ones. I hope they don't start to rush the pressings as the first four I recieved are absolutely perfect.
