These are all new reissues of classic titles.  So your question is really are these reissues up to audiophile standards?

Some sound good, some sound awful.  IMO, most do not sound as good as a pristine copy of an original pressing.  Or original audiophile pressings by MoFi, Nautilus, CBS Masterworks and especially Japanese pressings.

The poster/posting assumes and implies that the LP's sold at Barnes & Noble are unique to B & N. They are not; the LP's in the B & N racks are the same as those sold at all other retailers. B & N doesn't get LP's pressed expressly and uniquely for them.
SOOOO, here is my update on the new purchased vinyl from Barnes & Noble, i am a jazz ,fusion lover,the album i purchased was the jazz impressions of a boy named Charlie Brown, by Vince Guaraidi, the vinyl color was orange which i thought was kinda cool!!!, so i cleaned it  and zapped it with my discwasher Zerostat,put it on the table first thing i noticed as i clamped it down in the center it was warped,the vinyl is VERY THIN , NOT AUDIOPHILE  QUALITY, so as the needle played at the begining the surface noise was very bad, like  it was dust on the needle, jumped in the batmoble back to old b&n was told they will only exchange it ,no money back!!!  but you can get your money back if you don't open it,now they do sell vinyl that is thicker but of course ,YOU WILL PAY MORE= THIN  $21.00  THICK  $26.00  can someone lead me to some good quality vinyl, online shoping, that has a decent return policy.
