IMO it's a subtle improvement but. . . yeah, I think so. Sure sounds great.

To my untrained ears it is an improvement over the Off The Record set, which itself was quite an improvement over previous issues. A relatively new board member has a much more detailed analysis here.

Not jazz per se, but possibly jazz-adjacent, depending on your politics:  Dionne Warwick complete 1960s Scepter singles, a 3-CD set. Every A- & B-side. Nearly all Bacharach/David (until you get to the final tracks) and nearly all mono (until you get to the final tracks).  Lots of titles I don't recognize, generally the B-sides.

Although sometimes I think I must be insane for listening to this kind of music (if not already for other reasons).
