I agree that some (maybe even many) of the so-called audiophile LP re-issues are a disappointment. One bright spot that I've found, however, is the Pure Pleasure label -- excellent sound fidelity and pressing quality. PP has more releases planned, and I intend to watch for them. I have been particularly happy with the following releases:
1. Otis Spann: Otis Spann IS The Blues;
2. Sam Lightnin' Hopkins: In New York;
3. Stevie Ray Vaughn: Couldn't Stand The Weather;
4. Charles Mingus: Presents Charles Mingus
If you're interested in PP's releases, here's the link to their British website: http://www.purepleasurerecords.com/
