The Japanese company Vivid Sound seems to have released these cardboard sleeve mini-LP cds concurrently with Rev-Ola (in 2007). What would interest me is: any differences, particularly regarding sound quality. I don't trust UK labels like Real Gone, Cherry Red/El or Rev-Ola to do thoughtful remastering. Usually they just bootleg someone else's mp3s that they've found on the web. I'd like to think that a Japanese label would offer superior audio fidelity, as is often the case with their reissues. So, I'm just wondering if anyone has compared Rev-Ola vs. Vivid Sound editions? Don't want to pay 3X as much just for an obi.

And, yes, a nice clean copy of the original vinyl can't be beat.
