Canadian Pressings.

I've recently acquired quite a few Canadian pressings of popular American releases. At first I kind of felt like they had that record club stigma. Like, you have the record but you really don't. But, by and large, it seems they are all comparable (some better, some worse, all within the 1st standard deviation) to the US pressings that I have heard.

I know European/Japanese/Latin American pressings often come from later generation masters than the US pressings, but given the geography, I wonder if the Canadian pressings are more like "just another American pressing plant."

Those that were under license to Quality Records (A&M, some others) also sounded good, by and large.

Any insight? Thoughts? Experiences?
