I love those CTI recordings as well. The new reissues I've picked-up so far sound great...that unmistakable CTI "sound", hot solos, fantastic grooves!!! (You better love them for the incredibly short play times. Usually 45 minutes or less.) The new mixes are warmer, less strident, than earlier CD issues. Clear and immediate presence.
I was disappointed that the 40th Anniversary "box" set didn't make better use of space to pay tribute to the Peter Turner cover art - especially since the packaging was LP sized.
