I have three: 1) Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby
2) Ellington's Duke's Big 4 and
3) Thelonious Monk's Brilliant Corners
They all sound just fine (although I expected pristine surfaces for $50), but I frankly am not all that certain that the hefty price of admission is worthwhile, since other versions, including the OJCs @ about $10 each, are close enough to make me think I'd have been just as well off to go that route and have money left over to buy 12 additional OJCs. Plus with the 45 rpm speed it seems as though it's time to flip it over almost as soon as my butt hits the chair!
