#3. I figured I'd spin a reissue I don't get out all that often. (the 1983 reissue I have is a bit better, IMO) Fear – The Record Rhino Records – R1 79941, 1982/2007 Cut by Ron McMaster at Capitol Mastering Pressed at Rainbo

#2. Boris – Akuma No Uta Third Man Records – TMR-632, 2003/2019 Cut by Bill Skibbe at Third Man Mastering Pressed at Third Man Pressing

Turns out I needed a nap this evening, so I'm starting this stack of 5 records that were curated by @TenderLovingKiller® a bit later than I had planned....it's all good though, as I plan to stay awake all night anyway. #1. Neil Young – Dead Man Vapor Records – 46171-1, 1996/2019 Cut by Chris...

I'll get these out and start them up shortly. Thanks

It's been a few years since I've participated in this thread - send me a stack to get me through the afternoon/evening.

Day 4 - Rosa Parks Day - Play something that stood it's ground, and fought for what's right. He seems to have something to say when something needs to be said. Neil Young – Decade Reprise Records – 3RS 2257, 1977 Cut by Jay Maynard at Capitol Mastering Pressed at Capitol Records Pressing...

Getting this in before the day is over... Buddy Holly – Buddy Holly Analogue Productions/Coral – APP 107/CRL 57210, 1958/2017 Mono Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio Pressed at Quality Record Pressings

Cross-posting from the challenge thread - I've had this since September, but had to wait a bit before listening to it because I listened to the 2 LP version just the month before. I wanted to hear this mix without any bias from that listen. So far I really like it. I've had this stereo mix...

Day 3 - National Golden Retriever Day - Play a record that you keep coming back to, like that retriever endlessly chasing the ball. And I'll probably buy this again if they release it with some difference...like a 2 LP 45 cut of the Steven Wilson mix. I don't really have a way to play the...

Cross posting from the challenge thread... The Meters – Look-Ka Py Py Jackpot Records – JPR087, 1970/2024 Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio Pressed at Memphis Record Pressing

Day 1 - Black History Month - Play something by a Black artist, something that has influenced your listening over the years. Just went through my collection to see what I hadn't played at all or in a very long time. I played their self-titled release, but not this and their 3rd album. Both...

I think tiering pressing plants (and most things) just gets a bit too anecdotal - as we all can become biased over an issue we encounter. Optimal does great work - except when they don't, and I ran into a lot of issues with their pressings over the span of a few years. GZ (and their...

We can add Gilbert Kong to a high tier...i don't think I've heard anything bad that he cut.

Some others I don't mind seeing... Carl Rowatti - Trutone Mastering Labs Heino Leja - Optimal in-house cut Josh Bonati - Bonati Mastering I'd say these are all high to mid tier. Low tier would be Dietrich Schoenemann - Complete Mastering (this could just be that most releases I have of...

I'd add Jason Mitchell to Tier 2 - I haven't had anything bad from him with all his various Burning Shed releases he has done since he took over Loud Mastering.

I'll second this one.

NRP and United are pretty much the same company - they share a building.
