As a norwegian I will have to hope Norway beats Canada in the curling final and gets the gold medal as they did in the 2002 olympics. Though no one in Norway knows anything about curling or about the team which is involved. I have to say I love our jeans though

First off all I like to introduce myself. I've been a long follower of this forum, and in my opinion it is the best of which topics it cover. As a sucker I am for reissues,and especially those from Blue Note, I subscibed for this whole XRCD collection. However I do know very little about sound quality and the differences between the recording techniques beeing used for the different reissues of these classics. I asked myself; do i really need these versions, which cost twice or three times as much as the versions that are already available? As I only owned a RVG-edition of Soul Station (not that it matter anyway, I think I would subscribe if I owned everyone) I thought that it would not do any damage anyway. If I will have any grandchildren, this is the best way to describe to them what kind of music I listened to So today I received my copies (of course with some good tax money paid aswell, because of Norway's generosity ), and so far I have only managed to listended to Soul Station, which I think was great. My first thought was that this really is a quality product soundwise. The packaging of these issues are excellent aswell. After my subscription I had my regrets anyway. I could have got most of these versions a lot cheaper if I went for the RVG editions. My thought was that maybe this collection is only mounted on audiophiles which's only concern is on the sound quality, because so far I thought the RVG editions sounded good enough. My questions to you is that, do you think this collection is a bit unnecessary or not, and do you think it will continue after the 25 so far announced titles announced? At last I will thank the creators and the contributors of this forum, as it seems to be the only serious place to adress your questions about jazz music. I apologize if my english written language is not understandable.
