Speakers Corner

I received a message this week from Speakers Corner Records. I had asked if they used mold release compound in their manufacturing. They told me they used Pallas as their pressing plant and Pallas does NOT use mold release compound in manufacturing. Since the records sound terrific already, I'm very glad that I won't have to clean them. Now, I'll have to purchase some more.

So which ones you’re purchasing and which ones you’ve already purchased? I have most of their catalog original releases. Any idea how they sound compared to originals or early re-issues? Their catalog is super good, but messy and unorganized and unsorted.

If you've ordered Holst Planets, I have the original UK Decca in premium shape. The original sounds stunning.

You should clean them anyway. Cheers,

Speakers Corner is a good reissue house; Pallas is a good pressing plant. I doubt any plant would say they use mold release compound in their production since the pvc compound, as supplied, contains various things, including thermal stabilizers and material that helps ease removal from the stampers.
I'm with sbank- though largely buying old, used records, I clean any new ones too. 
CZ, I'm gonna send you a PM.
