RE: I'm surprised "none of it matters" to you

I have 4-5 versions, ranging from the original Columbia 6-eye mono that I bought when I was a teenager to several of the re-issues, including one of the 45-rpm versions. My point would be that ultimately the quality of any re-issue must be limited by the quality of the source material used to make it and that once I owned a really audiophile worthy pressing or two or three, I, for one, do not feel the need for another. It's only my opinion, and I don't disagree or disapprove of collecting KOB re-issues, or especially if you are a newbie to jazz or audio. One could do worse with money. I guess another point in the back of my mind is that you can hear the "greatness" in the music without fancy equipment or a boutique LP copy.
