Blue Note 45rpm reissue


I am suprised that I can't find much discussion concerning the new Blue Note 45rpm reissue's from Music Matters. I got my first two and they are wonderful! Very quiet and dynamic. Solid classic jazz. Sound stage is deep and on a few occasions I jumped up because of a noise in my kitchen, (off the music room), or a knock on the door only to find out that the sound stage has expanded further into the room. Anyone else try these out or heard any other offerings than the first two?

If you're concerned that this series (along with the upcoming BN series from Acoustic Sounds) is 'too expensive':

First, do a search on ebay for what original BN's are selling for. In many cases, in the thousands.

Then, realize that for 50.00, you'll have a brand spanking new, pancake-flat, heavy-vinyl lp that will have better sonics (45 rpm, careful re-mastering, fewer copies), super-low noise, and, as an added bonus, fantastic Wolf photos on a gatefold cover.

Plus, they'll probably rise in value through the years.

That's about as good a 'value' as you'll find in the world of hi fi.
Timely post. I've been meaning to call Acoustic Sounds-it's been a long, *long* time since I've received an installment of the BN subscription reissues.

I'll call tomorrow, but it seems like a quick e-mail to all the subscribers, informing them of the situation, would be a nice touch. Hate to make another comparison to Music Matters, but MM's customer service has been great-including unsolicited phone calls from the head cheese.
Update-

Called AS, they say they're mailing the next four of the series on Jan. 20th, to get the subscribers "caught up".
