... plus a few of the Japanese editions and the more recent CD releases.

Purchased the two-fers when they were released in the 70s, then gradually collected originals, singly or as parts of collections over the years.

Have both versions of most of the Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Ella songbooks, Getz "Focus", Holiday, quite a few others.

Save yourself the time, effort, and money searching out clean originals. The twofers are superb - any difference in sound is minor and not worth the premium you'll pay for a first pressing - you'd be paying for the artifact, not the music and sound.

The great liner notes on the twofers are added bonuses. They were a big part of my education in the history of jazz (back before there were those interweb thingies).
