I own several singles from Max Music. These are the 90s Dance music singles (Euro & italodance as well as some Italo House). Most of them, if not all, are mastered at 45 RPM. I compared a few, to the original Italian singles, and came to the conclusion that some (not all) sounds actually better than the original conterparts. They have been mastered from the original master tapes, not doubt about this as the track lengths were the same, but Spanish producers done an excellent job in terms of mastering.

I noticed that Max Music, in-house mastering studio engeineers, tried to master with slightly more upper end, which resulted in very close to digital sounding recording. In some cases, the record would sound overbrighten, but still kept its warm sound. It's a sound signature that I actually prefere thesedays.

Very often Max Music releases being disregarded by other DJs. In fact, thesedays, if a Spanish release was available I often go with it, espacially if is mastered at 45 RPM. The same applies to some French singles. Just my few cents.
