Originally Published as BX essentials, Old School essentials is a remake of Basic/Expert Dungeons and Dragons sets (Hereafter referred to as BX D&D). It prizes itself on fidelity and clarity of organization. It even has a whole appendix dedicated just to what changes they made from the original in order to make things clearer or more usable.
As of 2021 it comes in two varieties: Classic Fantasy, based on the B/X line, and Advanced Fantasy, which expands on Classic Fantasy with elements from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
Honestly it's a pretty straightforward pitch. Also, it has some very nice art.
