Hi Milan,
 The Melbas are from primary metals but are all previously known titles 
so they are not a recently discovered session. The sound is mostly very 
good but not spectacularly better than originals in good condition. The 
problem for a present day collector is where do you find 1904 G&Ts in A1 
condition. The new vinyl is generally going to sound better than most 
surviving original pressings. I for one am very happy to have them in my 
own collection.
Best Wishes
