Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl

you are not alone in your findings. I have the white vinyl and while it sounds great (as does the CD, so I am to beleive the recording is great), the ball seems to be dropped by Classic Records.

I for one will think again before buying their product. Seems that the marketing gimmick is to put whatever quality on a heavy slab of vinyl.

I collect Japanese Lps, and can speak from experince, it is not the weight of the vinyl, as Japanese Lps are very thin and light, but to me sound superior in almost every case.

My copy is bad as well.

Sent mine back to Acoustic Sounds recently as well as the new Norah Jones LP..Both had the same poor quality Vinyl issues. So bad it was pathetic. In speaking with Brad, he mentioned its a known issue. Supposedly, Classic Records is aware and will be issuing new copies later this summer. I asked if RTI was to blame for the poor pressings, but he didnt think so, since RTI does many other labels as well...In the mean time I just bought the CD's to enjoy the music..But, the whole quality issue at Classic is just ashame.

I was going to buy it till i was warned by a friend that it sounded dismal. The music is supposed to be good, but it's hard to get past the pressing. Maybe I should buy the white vinyl. Classic has put out some good vinyl and has done some real junk too.

My Diana Krall Vinyl had some metallic coatings in the groove. It took few washings, but still the 'area' sounds bad.
Norah Jones Vinyl OTH is flawless.
