Rushton,
I'm curious to see if you found much difference between the 33s and the 45s of the same title. I own 16 CR reissues in 33 and about 4 or 5 in 45rpm, not of the same titles. On the whole I've found the quality very variable, from dead to just acceptable. My main problem with CR records is that all they all have a sameness to them. There's a particular sheen to every pressing, I hear this across the board even in their jazz and rock reissues. I don't know whether this is the sound of their vinyl or their electronics but they've all been handled in a coockie cutter style. These reissues don't have the same character and individuality of the originals. I find them to be more of a clone of one another than the master.
