Hi! It was my first MFSL and nearly my last. On top of that, our sound engineer has over 35 years of experience in cutting and mastering records for (major) labels. I m sure he knows about this question of this DBLP serie blue note reissie mono Japan EMI. and anybody else who have information about this subject. The record company (Doxy) even put different custom labels for each side. I can read it online! Seem like they're readily available and less than $15/LP. No information is lost. There has been a long history of decpetive marketing, as we are slowly finding out. Is this a false statement? There are some excellent vinyl reissue labels that use original anaolg sources and produce very good lps such as Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner Records, RhinOvinyl, Classic Records, Impulse!, Sundazed, etc. We compared. ON THE CUT! Put on album title, record label or company, and what the sources were for the record. So while it's true that this LP sounds as if the movie soundtrack was being played through an old radio, I feel that the people at Doxy put their best effort on giving the collectors a high quality product, at least regarding manufacturing. This is because the vinyl can pick up every single part of the sound wave. I also checked the fine print on the back cover and found "this compilation copyright 2008 Lilith Records" and "manufactured in EU under license from OOO 'Universal Music', Russia". has been recently discussed regarding "HD" downloads and of other digital files (and even including analog formats). I think Doxy is an Italian label. I have bought a couple of records from this label for $15+tax: Ray Charles and Grant Green, and found the quality to be poor. I remember when MFSL reissued several John Lennon LP's about 10 years ago. I suspect Doxy is one of those labels that's sprung up in Europe to release music that's now in the public domain under EU law, which is pretty much anything pre 1961 or so, from what I understand. Ie., fully open. The conversion's resolution depends on the sample rate and bit depth. I'd stay away. Call me crazy (and you wouldn't be the first!)

The Londons? They sound fantastic to me, but note they do not say original analog masters. I think its only fair to buyer that they disclose the source used to cut the LP. I'd like to throw in my two cents: Avoid anything released by the Italian reissue label Get Back records. Just to be sure, I compared it to the mp3 version on Spotify, which blows it out of the water in EVERY respect. 328 Compass Poin was last sold on Aug 8, 2017 for $282,000. Great read Mikey, thanks! Yes I should have mentioned them as "musts to avoid." Yet they state quite clearly on the back that they were pressed at RTI and mastered by Kevin Gray and Joe Reagoso from the original Columbia Tapes. I would move Doxy Music / Doxy Records from the "generally avoid" to the "check before buy" category. Third fact. I'm not sure I see the value in such a thread. Many comments say that Lilith, Doxy, Dol and others are labels that exploit works that have fallen into the public domain. A look a the photos of the tape boxes that appered in the box set were very revealing. The Classic Series will once again feature all-analog 180g vinyl pressings in standard packaging that are mastered by Kevin . He heard the HF boost and was outraged. I'll wait for the Music Matters reissue later this year. Pablo was a Norman Granz label (Granz founded Verve among other labels) that used top engineers and the RCA vinyl infrastructure to process its albums and what this guy was playing me sounded wrong. Actually some of them, especially those licensed from EMI, can sound very good and could very well be analog tape sourced, but the company refuses to identify sources. But there's no guaranty the LP was actually cut from the tape because Sundazed doesn't specify who cut and from what. Of course, you will need to already have a turntable and phono amp but, if you already have these items, the AU-D4 ADC is an ideal budget digitisation option. ". I recently got our latest test pressing from Optimal and it's up to their usual standards, we've never ever had any quality issues with them over dozens of releases so if you are getting poor Optimal pressings I'd suspect it's because some stage in the process is outside of their control, as for the others I don't think there's very much between any of them on a good day and the only one I'd hesitate using is GZ. We definitely need something like this we are getting ripped off left right and centre. Benefits of Record Keeping Record keeping has many benefits and can help you improve the operation and management of your system.

If there is a bad pressing - is commentary more likely to be offered in a unfocused and unwieldy general thread on bad pressings or in a thread focused on that specific recording/release? I know the individual components are quality pieces because I never buy any hardware or software (the real subject of this article) that hasn't received some favourable reviews from credible sources, so I am sure it's that they are not complementing each other as a system. Not so much but I wouldn't blame Bell Sound.

Anyone else unfortunate enough to grab that same LP? Another fact. The Netherlands based Music on Vinyl label issues some albums cut from analog sources but mostly from high resolution files sourced from masters that they obtain directly from the labels (at least based on my experience). I would expect it to be GOUGED for that many crackles. Lots of labels have cottoned on to the fact that they can make great margins from knocking out a badly sourced record so long as they put a '180g audiophile vinyl' sticker on the front. This is not a case of semantics and again leaves one to wonder. It is unfortunate. A lot of The Beatles 1/2 speeds were NOT done with originalEMI master tapes. Thanks for replying, jgannon!
