Original Jazz Classics (or OJC) was started in 1983 as an imprint of Fantasy Records. Under this name facsimiles of original editions of jazz LPs have been reissued on CD and formerly on LP and cassette also. The LPs were originally released on Riverside, Prestige and other labels that had been purchased by Fantasy. A limited edition series was begun in the late 1980s; this is now reportedly being deleted.
A sister label is Original Blues Classics, organised on similar principles and dedicated to albums by blues performers.
