Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Jbraswell]

From Matt Lutthans on the Bluesville cuts

"The blues titles are all being cut at The Mastering Lab, Doug Sax's former system -- all tube, BTW, using orig. tapes. We still have/use Doug's highly-customized tape playback with tube electronics, plus tubes in the console, plus tubes in the cutting amp, all feeding the Neumann lathe.

Yes, we still use the TML-M stamp in the runout."

No. Baritone

No. Baritone

I will not argue Pepper Adams is a badass

Whatever Kenny G plays is the saxiest

It is only natural to enjoy Otto Sax

I ain't getting it but Billy Joel 52nd Street Mofi 45 is back in stock? Was that a thing that we knew about?

It does! I have a copy as well. Cut is great, only issue with my copy is that it looks and sounds like sandpaper was rubbed against it.

Dang paper sleeves. I cut the inner open and was lucky that it wasn’t scuffed up.

Yeah, the most likely culprit. My Cosmo's Factory is also an AP clone FYI.

I have a '69 Hollywood pressing I paid $10 for and it's a great sounding LP.
I'll have to break it out later for a spin.

Got the Eastern Sounds, some TP represses and some more of the AP
Prestige. I love their sales. FYI I thought I saw the free shipping was raised to $125
