Quality music labels


I know Chesky produces some exceptional recordings, but most are not my cup of tea. Are there any other such labels known for their high production recordings, or are the recordings basically left up to the individual artist?

Here are a few other labels that I should have included on my first post: Teldec (German); Lyrita (small British label); and two labels that I think are now defunct, Supraphon and Hungaraton. These two latter labels were Czech/Hungarian, and they issued some excellent classical LP's during the 1970's and 1980's. Some of their catalog may have been re-issued on CD.

A Japanese label that issued a limited number of D-to-D LP's in the late 1970's and early 1980's was East Wind. And, staying with the D-to-D LP theme, there were also some good recordings from M&K, Crystal Clear, and Century Records.

The other jazz label which also deserved mention is Concord Records, founded and operated by Carl Jefferson (he also started the Concord Jazz Festival). Concord has consistently released some of the best sounding jazz recordings which, happily, also contain some first-rate mainstream jazz. I've also been impressed by the sound quality of the releases on Premonition Records (Patricia Barber's label.)

Last: Sundazed Records has been getting some great write-ups about the quality of their re-issue catalog (such as the mono LP's done by Bob Dylan). I have not heard any of their stuff, and thus will have to let others comment from direct experience.
I agree with the above suggestions of the XRCD offerings.

I have heard that MFSL is to be making a comeback...any truth to this?

I may be crazy,,..but I have never had any of the Telarc's that I buy capture my inner brain/ear thing that get's you into the music? Can't say as to why.
Thanks for all the info. Those labels should keep me hunting for awhile. Let the games begin.
After I made my 2nd post, I pulled out some CD's to listen to while working on the computer, and realized that I had forgotten to mention a jazz label that I've grown to like quite a bit: OmniTone. They have a small but very nice catalog, and all of the releases I've purchased have excellent audio quality. One of the recent releases was a Grammy nominee.
