Simply Vinyl...why the bum rap?

I have heard some REALLY negative comments about this company (also some good stuff!) Not being as wise as some of you good analog folks, I'd like to find out the "real deal" on this label. Also, what are their really great pressing as well as the "turkeys".

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!!!
