| is there a market? TZ- it’s a cost factor, and also, from a market/risk standpoint, reissuing a known warhorse is a safer bet than creating something new (apart from the cost risk- did I mention risk and cost?) :) Same complaint could be made about many reissues on ... | |
| is there a market? Cost. Master in the can is cheaper than new, from scratch production particularly if large production and party issuing record already owns the rights in the master and doesn't even have to pay for that licensing fee. | |
| is there a market? folkfreak- Yarlung was one of the labels I was thinking of in my previous post-they also do vinyl releases- none appear to be full orchestras, but more small scale stuff, though some classical, e.g. Janaki String Trio. I had heard the tape courtes... | |
| is there a market? Is it possible- yes, and there are some smallish labels that do this, but a market? I know you aren’t asking because it’s about making money, but you know what they say about how to make a small fortune in the record biz? (Start with a large one).... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? xlh1- I don’t disagree with your observations about matrix information, but sometimes, there are multiple cuts made simultaneously, to supply several different pressing plants when a record is a high volume one. I know there is information about v... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? RLawry- at the time Tea was released, Island Records was still an independent company in the UK and had no U.S. counterpart till a short time later, so US territory would have been llcensed. I had to look it up (because I just can’t keep all this ... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? Sometimes, but not always. And first pressing from what country? What pressing plant? On Zep 1, for example, my go-to is the US Piros ’74 era recut with the ’CC’ nomenclature in the deadwax, pressed at the Monarch factory, a cut that has been righ... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? CT- right. I think you have to ask what your purpose in organizing is. Is it so you, as the present owner of these records, can find them easily? Or are you interested in working at the Library of Congress? I get curation, and Paul is no doubt cor... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? I don't hear that voice. I do like vintage bikes, though. Gave up riding a few years ago. Mostly had Italian bikes, though I did have one Harley- a V-Rod, which was a great motor in search of a decent bike. The chassis flexed, the brakes didn't wo... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Sim- to answer your outstanding question, I've never used the Spin Clean or equivalent. By the time I started getting into record cleaning in the early '80s, the VPI was available and I bought one. I'm pretty agnostic when it comes to machines and... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Actually, Slaw, I was responding to Cedar's post- where he described a DIY ultrasonic rig as a way of saving money. My post added an additional point- that there was a benefit to the DIY, in my estimation, over and above the commercial ultrasonics... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Slaw- sorry, you mentioned it in a thread about record shows.Not sure why you are offended, but if so, my apologies. I may reply later to the method issue, not something I'm trying to be competitive about- it was a friendly, genuine offer. Again, ... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Slaw: You are up in Buffalo if I remember (from a thread on record shows)? Do you get down to NYC metro area? I’m north of the city, near Nyack when in NY- would love to show you what I’ve been doing with various cleaning machines. (And you are we... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Slaw- really? When I had the Audio Desk, I don't recall any way to stop the machine before it goes from wash to dry- yes, I suppose you could just pluck it out before the drying cycle started- then, the machine would continue to dry with no record... | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Cedar- good post- sometimes i view record cleaning as a task to be dreaded, and other times, I look forward to it and can actually enjoy the process. I've had both commercial ultrasonics- the Audio Desk and KL and have used them in combination wit... |
