OJC LP Reissues???

Two of the leading audiophile distributors/manufacturers of lps have quite a few Original Jazz Classic reissues. Has anyone purchased any of these lps and if so were there any quality/sound problems? Are there any particular titles that should be avoided?

Based on previous threads, I would like to avoid buying any lps that were pressed by Scorpio Records. One of the distributors advised me that his OJC lps were not pressed by Scorpio; however, the other distributor said he did not know who pressed his OJC reissues and could not guarantee that Scoprio did not do the pressings.

Any input would be helpful and greatly apprecited. Thanks.

Nothing wrong with OJCs. But the should cost no more than $10 or $12. There's some jerk on e-bay who's trying to charge $50, $60 and even $70 for them. I can't remember is name but every one of his ads says "the nicest thing you can do for your ears" or something like that. All of his pictures are taken so you can't see the whole cover and can barely see the OJC obi.

Personally I like them. They sound very good. Not as good as say, the 45rmp reissues, but very good. The pressings probably have better QC than some of the originals. If you're interested in listening, as opposed to testing the outer limits of hi-fi you can't go wrong.
