That's the key.
Examples? Freddie Hubbard's Here to Stay which is a two-record set which includes his classic Hub Cap. Remastered by Michael Cuscuna, dull and flat-sounding compared to the earlier versions (but still worth having because it's one of Hubbard's classic albums).
There's a reissue UA reissue series, white jackets with a grey border along the top, also flat and dull sounding by comparison to the older stuff.
The OP in this thread definitely wasted his $21. If I had a UA or Liberty copy of Blue Train, I'd never have bought one of the new reissues.
The way I look at the reissues is, you get what you can get. I have a list of about 30 titles from the new series, records I want bad. Most of them won't come out until next year. I have till then to find Van Gelder copies. If I can't get the Rudy, I'll settle for Don Was.
