How are the blue note RVG CD's?


After seeing a recent thread about the pricey used Blue Note LP's, esp. japanese pressings, what are your opinions of the sound quality of the recently re-mastered by Rudy Van Gelder editions, done I think in 1999-2002 or so, on a 24 bit system. I bought a bunch for around $12.99 each, and on my Rega Jupiter 2000 think they sound pretty darned good. Anyone else?

Just a note: Many RVGs were recorded in his parents living room. This is not a joke.
I agree that some of the RVG remasters are exceedingly bright. Compensation for hearing loss? But a lot of great music, as everyone has said.
A pile of new Blue Note RVGs reissues are forthcoming this Feb (2005) according to my local retailer.
I just bought a pile of the currently available RVG remastered and am happy.
FYI,
Very nice photo-essay on RVG in the current issue of Tracks magazine(John Lennon on the cover). Of course, the photos are by Francis Wolff of Blue Note. Cheers,
Spencer
