"OJC" refers to the "Original Jazz Classics" series of reissues that Fantasy records did in the mid to late 1980's. The reissues included several hundred of the best jazz recordings of the 1950's and 1960's, mainly from the Contemporary and Riverside labels. The "OJC" LP's were remastered, decently pressed, and very reasonably priced. I own about 100 of the "OJC" LP's from this series, and there is some great music in the collection. I am, however, not convinced that the 45-rpm series from Acoustic Sounds merits a $50/LP price tag. Before you plunk down $50 for a single LP (45-rpm or not), you might want to do a little research about whether the music on the recording is worth $50 to you.
