Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

When you look at the '70's reissues you have to look for stuff mastered by Rudy Van Gelder.

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.
