To my ears vinyl from King Super Analogue (now out of business, unfortunately) and Quality Record Pressings from Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds is way above my wildest expectations! If I want more, I go to LA opera but with cheap seats or left side of the balcony (under air conditioner) makes me cringe and usually leads to yet another shopping spree. Getting my first D2D LP of Four Seasons this Christmas, but thanks for the tip!!!
The Electric Recording Co. ... thoughts on a 300 quid LP
I'm not averse to spending good money on rare and collectible vinyl, but 300 quid (or more) on a newly minted reissue? That's a whole lot of cash for 1 disc.
Conventional wisdom would suggest it is not worth it, but after repeated listening of their two new jazz reissues (Tommy Flanagan Trio and Hank Mobley) I would dare to say they are indeed worthwhile. There is meticulous attention to detail and it is clearly a labor-of-love. I have not heard originals of these LPs, but these reissues do sound marvelous.
The only grumble I have is that some form of box/slipcase would be nice. A thick-card slipcase would make these stand-out on a shelf and keep them pristine. I would be interested to hear other thoughts on these reissues.
