Impex Records

Just ordered Duke Ellington and Miles Davis after hearing these Impex pressings on a friend’s rig.  SQ is very good and pressing is perfectly flat.  Looking forward to adding them to my collection.  As far as the price of LPs today when you factor in inflation the LPs that we paid $5/8 for back in the 60s/70s are right where they should be at $35/45 in today’s $. I’m good with that, although I do shop around:)
Enjoy the music. 

I’ve ordered The Dave Brubeck Quartet “Time Further Out” IMPEX vinyl record which is now en route from Elusive Disc. 

I was listening to IMPEX 45rpm Cafe Blue again over the weekend. Got a new phono stage and was going thru my reference vinyl. Great sound quality there. Clique sucks though and nothing can remedy that. Probably just bad noisy pressing. 
I’ll play PB Nightclub 45rpm later. That’s a really well recorded album. 
 

Was going thru their selection and can’t seem to find much that I would like to own. 
 

Got the Brubeck vinyl. Terrific album by the way. It was in my favorites on streaming for quiet some time so I was excited about it. 

Recording is great. Excellent details, overall really good. 
Side A is perfect. Side B, just like on my PB Clique, last track is noisy and has a few pops. I’m going to try and exchange it but with IMPEX I’m afraid the replacement could be worse. 
 

Pressing quality with IMPEX vinyl seems to be a crapshoot. And that’s disappointing. 

I own a number of Impex recordings. Always very happy with them. I recently acquired the 1-step Getz/Gilberto, it is a reference vinyl release. Very impressive on all counts from the beautiful packaging to the superb sounding LP. I thought my MoFi Anadisc LP of the same recording would be hard to beat, but the Impex sounds even better!
