Damn I already have BVSC, I can't imagine it would be a big improvement. But a great release for anyone who doesn't already have it!

Continuum will probably be top 3 most swapped ever, maybe even more than Funkdafied?

Haven't listened to either of those other albums.

Anyone have any words on how good these are?

Buena Vista Social Club is an amazing story. All these Cuban legends were forced to quit playing after the Cuban Revolution (all the clubs and bars were shut down). Years later and Ry Cooder and his team heads over there (he was originally going to west Africa I believe until last-minute visa issues stopped the band coming to America to record) and gathers them all up. Most of them hadn't played in years and most of their instruments had rotted away due to neglect. They record an album that gets released to HUGE acclaim, way more than any of them individually had before.

Just imagine thinking you had your shot and lost it, only to be given a second chance and completely exceeding your own expectations. This is completely worth of 'Essentials' in my opinion.
 
"first-ever artist-approved vinyl reissue"

can someone explain this, are modern reissues of LAGWAFIS against the artist wishes?

Some of the BVSC projects (there are other albums available) and maybe this one, was (maybe) recorded in one take. The whole backstory is what makes this great. Many of the artists are now dead, and this might have been their last chance to record.
