I met Mark very late in the game, shortly before his retirement. His ear and service was so good and honest that I'm still disappointed our working relationship was so short.

All the best Mark!

This guy had perceptive ears and a pronominal sense of sound analysis. His cuts sounded fantastic.

From Prairie Cat's Website:

NEWS:
7/6/14 - Prairie Cat Retirement
Hello Everyone,

Today I'm announcing that on October 1st 2014, Prairie Cat Mastering will be shutting down forever.
After 26 years, and over 14,500 records mastered, it's time to retire.

I will be doing business as usual until then. However, since most pressing plants need 4-5 weeks to do test pressings, any lacquers cut and shipped after August 25th will be at risk for re cutting.

The last day for cutting lacquers is Saturday, September 27th, 2014.

I wish to sincerely thank everyone of you that allowed me to be part of your projects over the years.

Good Health, Good Life, Good Luck

Mark
