Re-issues are certainly the way to buy Blue Note, 'cos lol at buying some of the 1st or 2nd pressings now.
Away from Blue Note (and Prestige, Riverside etc) though there's still some really nice 50s/60s pressings you can pick up for less than the price of some re-issues.

The latest ones tick all the boxes and they do seem to have fixed the pressing quality now. There was some talk about problems with the tape machine at the mastering stage with early reissues in the series. Although they have been mastered by Kevin Gray who is around the top of the game at the moment.
Quality wise they are a little bit lower quality than speakers corner but they have some of the biggest albums and speakers corner don't get a look in on the really good stuff. It's close on quality but they must have wanted to make a little more money.

There are some good jazz represses around at the moment though. Blue Note seems to have sorted the pressing problems with the early releases.
