Rudy Van Gelder Remasters

Anyone have the opportunity to hear any of these from the Concord Music Group? The liner notes indicate they were remastered by RVG himself at his studio using the analogue master tapes at 24 bit digital resolution. I picked up Gene Ammons "Boss Tenor" used the other day just to check out one from the series. Very impressive. I've been picking up as many of the Acoustic Sounds 45 RPM "Greatest Jazz" series as I can afford but this would seem a much less expensive alternative that gets pretty close. I think next I'll buy one of the RVG Remasters that I already own as a AS 45 and do a little comparison--anyone done this?

I very much enjoyed the difference between the standard and the RVG/Blue Note of Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin Else".
I will be buying as many RVG's as I can get.
I run a Krell 280CD into a Krell PAM-7 pre, into an EDGE g.5 or Spectral DMA90; and I think thr RVG's give me two times the music of the standard.
(maybe that sounds odd to say, ) I like them as much as my XRCDs!

I just bought Donald Byrd's "Royal Flush" and the sound is fine. Another player that was, somehow, in my blind spot. Got it for way less than full retail too. Give it a try.

great series! I am buying as much as I can! The sound is a touch "modern" but still 100% of the original tension and beauty of the music!
