Regarding European reissue labels like Master of Jazz, Classics etc - would we prefer to retain our 'moral purity' and do without the opportunity of listening to literally thousands of recordings that, left to the US record industry would be withheld from us forever, save for listening on original issues. Do we honestly think that Major Conglomerate Inc. will put together a CD of 'The Obscure Chicagoans' or give a toss about Bennie Moten or Wardell Gray? A friend who works at SONY tells me that Marketing have declined to put out a Benny Goodman set that had been planned for the centenary. The set had been put together with material that was varied and resourced in such a way that it would have been a useful addition to most collections. Still - Marketing, and I presume. Accounting said 'No' Not even to be made available for download.
