So Cool Struttin' is pressed flat, centered, and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. Sounds very good from the bit I heard.
I switched over to Jimmy Smith ...Chicken Shack, because the Smith album has all those fine microscratches under bright light, like Moanin' had. So curious how it sounds. Not sure what the deal is with these sleeves. It is in the exact same inner sleeve as the Sonny Clark, which doesn't have any of the microscratches. It looks flawless.

Thus far, the Jimmy Smith sounds KILLER! Turrentine out of the left channel on track 2 is just popping! Really nice. So far those scuffs seem completely inaudible through my speakers. The record literally looks perfect under regular light, but shine a bright lamp on it and it looks like it was hit with very fine grain sandpaper. Really weird. I've never run into this with polylined sleeves until last month's BN Classics releases and this Jimmy Smith.

I'd say buy the Cool Struttin
 
Looks like were quietly ? getting to some BN repressings on earlier OOP ? Any guesses what else might be coming next soon or what your wishing for ? I know I'd love the Art Pepper and Chick Corea repressed, any others ?
