We present XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of high X-ray luminosity "normal” galaxies. These objects are part of a flux limited sample of 8 high X-ray luminosity galaxies from the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey. We will present the details of our new plus archival observations and analysis and compare the properties of all the objects in the sample with those of high X-ray luminosity "normal" galaxies in the deep surveys. The observations were done with the aim of confirming that high X-ray luminosity normal galaxies discovered in deep XMM-Newton and Chandra survey and classified as new classes of exotic objects were already present in earlier and much brighter samples, and that this "unusual” populations appearing at low X-ray fluxes are actually the low-flux counterparts of the nearby and X-ray bright "galaxies” that have been known for two decades. The data we will present are confirming this view.
