A friend of mine moved to France and I have been receiving all of his Music Matters and Acoustic Sounds Blue Note reissues. Before forwarding them on to him, I examined and listened to every one so if any were defective I could secure a replacement from here in the States. Every LP is perfect, no issues whatsoever. And of course they sound superb and I wish I could afford to subscribe to these reissues.
While that is testimony to Music Matters and Acoustec reissues, I regularly receive other reissues that are warped, buzz, click and pop. Or, are so poorly remastered that they sound strident or compressed. Ray Brown's "Soular Energy" from Pure Audiophile Records was unbearably bright and an email to them went unanswered...of course.
This applies to new issues as well. I've been thru four copies of Stanley Clark's "Jazz In The Garden", from Heads UP label, to get one free of problems. Why should that be?
It is disconcerting and frustrating that several new LP's I have purchased in the last year are (censored) up for one reason or another. The buyers of vinyl and their dealers must endure the consequences of poor quality control. I'm weary of the "throw it against the wall and see what sticks" mentality of manufacturers who produce LP's that require me to take a chance every time I buy one. It should not be "like a box of chocolates:!!!
Bottom line? I agree completely with Actusreus but we are probably too small a number to make a case.
