They better do Roy Ayer’s Ubiquity next. Jazz-funk is often overlooked when it comes to hi-if reissues so I hope this is a continuing series. -
Edited 4 years agoIdeas for reissues: Johnny Hammond Smith "Gears", Pete Jolly "Seasons" and more.. I'll update ideas! FInally somebody who reissues records the way it should be done -
great quality, I am hyped for more jazz like joe henderson - the elements from this label. -
I have every release from this label and all of the are wonderous gems. Mastered by KG pressed at QRP, what more can one want. Don't know the source material but none of the reissues sound digital. All very full and dynamic sounding with great tonal balance and clarity. They release some amazing rare and hard to find jazz records and I dig it all. Never have any pressing flaws. And their LPs run about $24 or less. Great sound. Great value. Highly reccomend.

This label is doing good work and deserves some . I have a few of their releases and have been very happy with them, both in presentation of the packaging and the sound. The ones I have are cut by Kevin Gray and pressed at QRP. One thing I wish the label would improve on is the messaging behind how these reissues are done. Are they cut directly from analog tape, with an all-analog signal path, or do they have Kevin cut from hi-rez digital copies of the masters? Not that there is anything wrong with the latter, per se, but I prefer it when labels selling "top shelf" product cut out all the ambiguity and just tell us what is what.
