- If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have sooo many underground classics that would otherwise be nearly impossible to get. Show them their love. They deserve it.
- Really bad pressing....Got the Viktor Vaughn on RSD22 and the record sounds really bad...loss of bass, noisy, skips...
Last time spending money on some getondown stuff - like many people say here in the reviews: try to avoid this label if you can !!
the sound of their releases is rubbish ! - This is my favorite label outta my home town of Boston. Loosely affiliated with Brick Records they have been the Kung of reissues from east coast boom Bap (wu-tang), to the south (ugk), or west (too short, e40) these guys don’t miss. To boot, their prices are reasonable. Generally $30 or less in an environment where all records cost $50 or better. Ive been a customer for over a decade and will continue.
- Edited 5 years agoTake a downloaded MP3 vinyl rip from the net, press it on vinyl, & need I even explain how bad that's gonna sound... I mean really! Review relates to the P&P related 7" reissues, useless & disappointing...
- YO here we go with the MASTERS of SHIDDY sound
the reissue game sucks hard
i call them Sunday afternoon pressings
way to low to play them in a club
its something for those kind of dudes that like to collect everything and their moms, resellers and those dickheads who dont do anything for the culure...
iam sick of that shit!!! - Trash label here with over priced poor quality pressings.
I recommend purchasing original pressings which are often cheaper and better quality in sound and packaging.
Avoid like the bubonic plague!!!! - I don't think Get on Down is a bad label. Most reissue labels scoff at doing hip-hop albums, so I am glad we have someone reissuing them. That being said, I do agree these reissues are overpriced and I wouldn't pay full price for them. The packaging is very basic, just the cover and a cheap paper sleeve. They use mediocre pressing plants like United and Memphis, although I can't say I've had any pressing quality issues with the ones I've purchased. I also feel they are more interested in producing replicas rather than reissues - I don't like how they press 60+ minutes to a single LP just because the original pressing was done that way. They should be using 2 LP's for those. Overall though, this is the best we will get for a lot of classic hip-hop.
- Edited 6 years agoUnfortunately there seems to be really bad quality control. I got a copy of the same release from 2 different selling points and both albums were very scratched from the factory. No more get on down for me.
