Sounds very good, with lots of presence and warmth - considering it's a transfer from acetate, they did very well. Vinyl cut by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl.

What are you talking about? If there are no masters you only have vinyl - a mint cleaned copy, on a transcription deck (EMT) with a good stylus/head, mastering engineer who knows what they're doing - cut sounds fine. 'No excuse'- nonsense.

'Transparent? What do you think they're hiding? there are no master tapes, they could not be found. It was dubbed from a mint original vinyl copy on an EMT turntable. You gonna call the police?

Not really. Certain licensing terms determine formats, so can't always put tracks on all formats. It's easy to glibly say 'put out four LPs', it's not that simple.

Pushes the cost of production up considerably. I'm sure you can manage with three LPs.

That important safety info needs to be put on a sticker on the front of the LP. What about biscuits, are they safer?

Ridiculous prices being asked for these now. I don't care if they resurrected RVG from the grave and got him to oversee Shorter cutting direct to disc as the ghost of Francis Wolff took pictures, the prices are crazy.

You're not a music lover, you're just a sound obsessive, who clearly doesn't have any feel for music or soul. I've read your other comments, all about sonics, nothing about the music at all.
