RE: Good! And if you don't mind me adding a bit...

First, I'll add my thanks to vinyl phanatic. And that's a very good point about Vox/Turnabout -- some sound awful, others superb, but a lot of great music for very little money. The Aubort/Nickrenz team worked for them and got some great sounding results.

Odyssey was an unusual label. It wasn't just American Columbia reissues, so as with Vox/Turnabout, I would hesitate to generalize.

IMO the Columbia Oistrakh Sibelius was an unusually fine recording with tremendous stereo separation (maybe too much) -- I have the 6-eye. Some of the other early stereo Ormandy/PO on Columbia also sounds very good.

Vinyl phanatic didn't mention Vanguard, but I think they got good results. IIRC Vanguard was run by two brothers, one of whom died only a few years ago and was a serious audiophile. Edit: I should also mention Connoisseur Society, who had good sounding LPs IMO. Not to be confused with Musical Heritage Society, great music, often reissues of European material, but not always great sound.
