The single most important figure (imo) in the vinyl LP reissue business.


 

That figure is Chad Kassem, owner of Analogue Productions, Acoustic Sounds, and Quality Record Pressing (QRP). The video below was posted on YouTube earlier today, the story originally airing on the CBS show Mornings. I consider a viewing of the video to be worthy of your time.

I was made aware of this video, by my girlfriend. I realized it was some who I had purchased albums from before.I learned that he was a troubled boy from Louisiana. and  was impressed that he turned his life around and became so successful at his business. Which he has a great passion for Chad has,become the real American Success Story....

What a great and uplifting story. I am lucky enough to own several AP 15ips R2R tapes, sound quality is beyond reproach. I also own several AP vinyl pressings, my favorite is the UHQR version of the Doors LA Women (initial 5,000 pressings now sold out), on first hearing, I honestly thought I was listening to a master tape, that good!

1000% ~ I have long admired his dedication, passion and commitment. His production house was one of the main reason why I went back to Vinyl. 70% of my collection comprises AP records and they are worth the money if you value high quality playback. 

As @mgattmch pointed out, UHQR versions are outstanding.
