No Van Morrison either......

Well that's a relief :).

It does look good, I'm definitely going to get a few.

I have a few vinyl albums, even though I don't have a player. I was lucky enough to fulfil a lifetime dream last year, and have some of my stuff released on vinyl. There's something magical about them.

A decent turntable is high on my list of things to get.

I'm guessing 68 is actually [color=#141414][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][i]Louis Armstrong plays [b]W[/b].C. Handy.[/i] Don't see the point myself - if you want the [i]music[/i], get the CDs - way better audio quality. This just looks like an exercise in faux-nostalgia to me.[/font][/color]

I don't know... I have about thirty of these albums already on CD, but would quite like them on vinyl. I got a turntable last month and broke out some of my old records and found I was enjoying listening to them more than I do to CDs... Could be nostalgia, but could also be the physical act of taking the record out of the sleeve and carefully putting the needle onto the record.... forces you to treat it with some reverence and to listen to the record from start to finish.

The list of records in the series is a good sampling of classic jazz recordings.

Issue 2 is 9.99
future issues are 14.99
I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that these are digitally remastered, so I can't see the point?
As somebody already said, cd is probably better quality............

It depends entirely how the digital remaster has been done!
If it's been remastered at, say 192kHz sample rate and 24 or even 32 bit,there's a much higher dynamic and frequency range available. Even more if it's been done using DSD - though signal processing is more difficult. It also depends on whether any re-balancing, mixing, eq-ing etc have been done as well.
It's also arguable that even if done at 44.1kHz and 16 bit, the quality of the DAC at the vinyl cutting lathe is likely to be better than in your cdp at home, so given a suitable playback device, even that would sound better...
These are also 180g pressings, which tend to be better quality than your standard (130g?) pressings - there's more info and it's been more accurately cut.

Apparently not... I'm no audiophile but I've been impressed so far, to the extent that I subscribed.
