    I have catalogued 3 Legacy titles. Heavy Weather by Weather Report. Graceland by Paul Simon, and Santana Greatest Hits. "Weather" was pressed at Rainbo and got poor reviews for record quality. Graceland was pressed at RTI and got good reviews for record quality. Greatest Hits was pressed at the Memphis plant and reviews are positive. I have two more Legacy titles on my wish list. Paul Simon's solo debut and Harry "Nilsson Schmillsson". There's no information on Discogs for the Legacy Paul Simon edition. The Legacy Nilsson was pressed st the Memphis plant, too, which has many negative reviews for record quality.

      My copy of Kind of Blue plays well, no discernible surface noise (what some call "clicks and pops"). Sound stage is deep and wide and separation is notable, with depth (Coltrane sounds big as life and standing right in front of my B&W Nautilus 803s). All good.

        Avoid! Every single Legacy I own has clicks and pops right out of the sleeve and vacuumed before being played. Not even after cleaning them in my ultrasonic player. Miles Davis Kind of Blue is the worse, Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here, Elvis' Golden Records, The Essential Johnny Cash... all are flawed. I have read reviews on releases by this label from others having the same issues. Avoid!

          Quite fond of this label, have several and all are good. Nontheless, do your homework 1st, don't assume anything on face value.

            Good and quiet pressings. My only complain is the vinyl art which looks really blurred.
