There are OJC vinyl reissues and there are OJC vinyl reissues. Of the many NOS ones that are still around (and there are lots of them-I've just bought some recently) many are very good sounding. Try to avoid, though, West German OJC pressings (clearly marked pressed in West Germany) and Scorpio pressings of OJC's (if there's a barcode on the OJC it may well be a Scorpio). Some of the OJC's are also taken from digital masters and may not possess the higher sound quality of those taken from analog masters-I believe those numbered above the high 280's or 300 mark are from digital masters.
I just bought a superb used copy of the OJC reissue of Benny Carter's "Jazz Giant" and it sounds superb; I'd like to hear an original, but the OJC is pretty impressive.
