New Vinyl


Has anyone purchased any pressings from Pete Hutchison’s Electric Recording Company? If so, what did you buy and what do you think of the quality?

I've read some articles that say Hutchison now makes what many consider the finest records on Earth. It is said he meticulously crafts reissues of jazz and classical titles (including his prized Mozart) from the 1950s and ’60s—wrapped in letter ­pressed sleeves—that sell for $350 or more. Hutchison’s outfit, the Electric Recording Co., mints no more than 300 copies of each ­album.

Are they worth the money?

Whaaaaaaat?  $350....!!!!If he's "crafting reissues", even if one assumes he is given access to the master tape archives of the major recording companies, such as those still exist, the product cannot be any better than the source tape. The source tape is limited by how it was made, age, composition of the tape, etc.  So, no.  Not worth $350 of my money.
