The 45 speed reissues sound amazing. A friend subscribed to the Blue Notes when they came out and has every one of them. He has so many LPs that a third of the 45s are still sealed! I have benefitted because he usually has a duplicate copy to sell once the 45 copy arrives. I briefly had the 45 version of Larry Young's "Unity" I snagged used for $20. It sounded awesome. My current Japanese King 33 pressing of "Unity" is good enough for me.
My main table is a PTP4 version of a Lenco L75 and I only spin 33.3. It would be a pain to change speeds. The thrifter in me also likes the idea of occasionally finding a first pressing or early pressing for around $10 to $15, versus the $60 for a new 45 speed LP.
I have been collecting and listening to jazz LPs for nearly ten years, after first going crazy with jazz CDs. I too still have holes in my collection. For example, I somehow ended up not having Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin' Else." I don't want any old copy and won't pay through the nose, so I am still looking.
Do you have the first 4 Elvin Jones LPs on Blue Note? They are sensational. Clean first pressings can be had for $10 to $15. I rank them with any other Blue Note LP - really, really cool!
