I have the titles being discussed as original or reissue LP, even a few of the first 10" Blue Note LP's. In fact, I have most of the Blue Note artists and what I could not find as first press, I purchased on Mosaic LP box sets.
I agree completely with your assessment of the music, it just does not get much better.
I do not have the CD's, so I cannot compare the sound. I will say Blue Note's musicians are so spectacular, and so important to the history of American Jazz, if it were not available on LP, I would buy the CD reissues.
If you venture into turntable land, I can make enough recommendations of great Jazz to keep you broke for years :^).
