Sorry, it is confusing. I have compared old original BN, with BN 75ths, and with MM 75ths. The BN 75ths are generally on par or very close to the originals, the MM 75ths are better yet. Mosaic vinyl is 130 gram, pressed by QRP if memory serves and always sound excellent although you have to be careful with your expectations with some of their material. Tonight I have been listening to some of Mosaic's "Complete Commodore Jazz Recordings." A lot of these were lifted off of 78s and recorded to digital tape. Some are quite good for what they are, and the music is all top shelf, but these are not audiophile recordings. These are archivist, complete-ist, old small groups from the big bands, recorded in the 1930s and 1940s. Not everyone's cuppa. But they do some things that are unbeatable. For example I am staring at a set "Ella & Duke at the Cote D'Azur" that is to die for. They do a fair number of Blue Note things too, that are as good as it gets. I have never had a warped Mosaic either. Their price is about $30 per disc.
