ArkivMusic Cds any takers?

Drubin not at all if you check the label listings on ArkivMusic it reads from A to Z with every well known label. There's the ever popular labels such as Mercury,Decca,london,harmonia,Rca and Lyrita's and so on and so on. Even some very odd ball and obscure lables.

Schipo, only 6,000 of their 90,000 titles are reissues. The rest are originals.

Drubin I stand corrected. The prices for the reissues are rather high with no booklet info at all. I just think why not just hunt down the original commercially pressed Cd for much less than Arkiv is charging, unless it is hopelessly unavailable?

Schipo, while I agree with you in the idea of hunting down the original CD pressing, there is something to be said for convenience and being able to get the CD you are looking for in a one stop shopping experience, which is what Arkiv offers. I have used them on more than one occassion to find something that was either new to me or a better version than I had. Is it worth a bit more to get it done, maybe, for me, getting the music comes first>
As I am still working my way through cleaning about an 800 LP gift collection, about half way there, CD's are not on my list of things to buy as a rule these days, but prior to this gift Arkiv was my favorite both for ease and accessiablity.

I agree. You can often find out-of-print stuff used on Amazon or eBay. But your question about the sound of the reissues still stands. Would be good to hear some opinions.
