Acoustic Sounds 45's Jazz series

I have three: 1) Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby
2) Ellington's Duke's Big 4 and
3) Thelonious Monk's Brilliant Corners

They all sound just fine (although I expected pristine surfaces for $50), but I frankly am not all that certain that the hefty price of admission is worthwhile, since other versions, including the OJCs @ about $10 each, are close enough to make me think I'd have been just as well off to go that route and have money left over to buy 12 additional OJCs. Plus with the 45 rpm speed it seems as though it's time to flip it over almost as soon as my butt hits the chair!

The Cannonball Adderly is amazing. Also have the Evans Waltz for Debby...my surfaces are pristine, no noise. I have cleaned them using Record Research fluid and a VPI vacumn...

I have: 1.Ellington's "Dukes big 4"
2.Miles, "Realxin', and Cookin'"
3.Sonny Rollins "saxaphone Collosus"
4.Willie Dixon/Memphis Slim "Willie's Blues"
5.Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby"

I think these disk's sound incredible. I have nenver heard original's, but I do have a 33rpm Acoustic sounds "Waltz for D. and the 45rpm version sounds a lot better to me (twice as good, I don't know........... guess that one is up to you).

I am probably crazy but I like the record changing....... I would like to buy more of these titles (and will) but the price is steep. I figure if I find enough $5 used records it makes up for it though.
