Speakers Corner

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,
Spencer

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. 

I haven't yet compared to any originals I own. As for now, I have the two Weather Report discs, the Mahalia Jackson at Newport, and the few releases of Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins. I don't plan on cleaning them unless I hear a reason to do so from playing the actual records. I don't believe the correspondent was lying when he said that no mold release compound is used. Some of the very best sounding records I've heard.
