I recently acquired a handful of Verve compilations from the 70's--all two disc sets--including Billie holiday, "Embraceable You," Dizzy Gillespie, "The Sonny Stitt/Sonny Rollins Sessions," "The Genius of Bud Powell," "Ella Fitzgerald sings the Cole Porter Song Book," Ella and Louis, and Lester Young.All the sets are clean as a whistle, play flawlessly, and sound great.
My question is, how do these reissues stack up to original pressings? I'm not a vinyl collector in the sense that I seek out rare albums, original pressings, etc. But I will swap records out for better sounding copies. So, for those of you who have been able to compare, would it be worth my time to look for minty, original pressings of this material, or should I be content with these reissues?
Thanks for your advice.
