What reissue sounds better than the original?


With so many vinyl reissues coming out there are bound to be great ones and bad ones. Which better the original pressings? I will start by asserting the reissue of Steely Dan's Aja is better than the original. Any others?

I don't think I've ever found a reissue that betters the original. The best they can do is come close. I do have quite good reissues of Kind of Blue, Avalon, CSN, If Only I Could Remember My Name, Folk Singer and A Love Supreme. I would somewhat disagree on the Cisco Aja or Classic's Aqualung as living up to good originals. The more rare the original, the more a reissue makes sense.
there are a number of Classic Records RCA Shaded Dogs 45 RPM reissues where the single disc 45's are better overall than original pressings. it's been years since i spent time doing this comparison.

also; the Classic Records Led Zepplin 45rpm box set smokes any original.

of course; you will pay big dollars for either of those reissues, generally more than original pressings in those particular cases.
I do try to go withthe originals. However, I do have to go with reissues when the price of the originals far exceed the cost of the reissue. For example, some of the original shaded dogs are pretty expensive if they are in great condition, I cannot afford them.
