Simply Vinyl...why the bum rap?

Simply Vinyl's(SV)recodings are hit and miss. We need to generate a list of the good ones (and the bad.) If we were to purchase the good ones, perhaps SV would see that a good recording from a proper source will be rewarded and will be motivated to do so. While I have heard about a few good LPs of their making, I can say without a doubt all of the SV LPs that I have purchased are compressed and I'd rather listen to the CDs than the Vinyl. That is a strong statement. Best Regards, aaron

I bought portishead's first album and it sounds great as does the reservoir dog soundtrack. I'm playing it through Krell Evolution components and a VPI HRX so I would definitely know if they were bad recordings.

I have a handful more simpyl vinyl records on the way. I'll post up how they sound.

My knock is at the price they charge the source material should be the original master. In fact Unless it states the source as being the original master I don't even bother looking at the catalog of said company.

i just spent $60 on two Simply Vinyl reissues of old Burning Spear reggae albums - "Marcus Garvey" and "Sounds from the Buring Spear". both albums are TOTAL pieces of junk.

static, fuzz and distortion from beginning to end. they are both completely unlistenable. total garbage.

i emailed the company and asked them to make good with me, and i never got a response. the name of the game with Simply Vinyl is BUYER BEWARE!!!
