Señor Calleverde:
That Searchers re-issue was given a glowing review in Shindig!
I'm a bit miffed that the SOHO jazz series is now being issued on CD with loads of extra tracks. I bought them on vinyl and I feel a bit cheated!
On the jazz front there's the upcoming comp Martin Freeman And Eddie Piller Present Jazz On The Corner. Both CD and vinyl have same track listing 
Ady, amigo, the Searchers' reissue is a welcomed one, as I think the original albums were long out of print.
I've seen the "Jazz on the corner" comp mentioned by Dave in the main site, but I'm not sure if I'll pull the trigger, as I have many of the tunes already.
I understand how you feel about the "Soho Scene" series, but then it makes sense to add as many tracks as possible to the new CDs. My main issue with the last CD one is the poor remastering of some tracks and an uneven overall sound, but it's great value anyway.
