The recent half-speed reissues of Brian Eno’s first four solo albums are excellent.

Absolutely obsessed by Eno's work since 1973 but just couldn't justify the expense involved. Sad really, would have loved the first two albums.

Indeed they are, I have the original releases of course but these reissues are essential IMO.

I picked up the Abbey Road half speed mastered John Martyn - Solid Air
I have the original and it's literally stunning in comparison to the original.
If you see them. pick them up. I think it was £25, which in comparison to other premium pressings (MFSL, Music Matters, Analogue Productions..all £50 +)
is a no brainer. Even relatively poor new vinyl reissues are up at £15 to £20 these days, the majority of which IMHO are pretty bad.
Amazing mastering work, produced with passion.

...seems we are getting the thumbs up for the Abbey Road Half Speed Mastering reissues, contrary to a few other's findings!
A very enjoyable record.
