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.

I have over a dozen of them and like them a lot. At $10 you get more than you pay for. Not as good as the best Speakers Corner and Analogue Productions reissues, but not $35-50 either.

I got my first taste when I ordered 5 or so LPs from Acoustic Sounds including Speakers Corner reissue of Kind of Blue and a nice reissue of the Impulse Count Basie and the Kansas City 7. Since I saw a "Count Basie and the Kansas City 3" for $10 I threw that in. I was blown away at how good it sounded relative to the cost, so soon after I ordered 11 more OJC LPs for $110 and none has disappointed me and I am very fond of some of them, particularly the Miles Davis ones and that Count Basie.
