Japanese JAZZ THE BEST series reissues.

[Dmitry]

Picked up a couple of these Universal Japan cds at the local Newbury Comics, competitively priced at $11. Just opened the Nat Adderley disc, the booklet looks just like the OJCs, and lists Phil De Lancie as a remastering engineer, 1993.

So, are these just the old OJCs in new clothing?

Apprently this JAZZ THE BEST series was also released on 180 gm. vinyl in Japan. I'm still confused over the remasters. NC had about a dozen cds from this series which I didn't pick up.

The fact that these reissues carry the dates "1995" and "2003", along with the price and vendor, suggest this is an older reissue series featuring remasters that are over 15 years old. Still...
