I heard BAT was sold


I can't confirm this but I think the new owner is Music Direct.
taters
I cannot confirm if BAT was sold and if sold then to whom but as long as Victor Khomenco is in charge of R&D this company will remain one of the best in the world !!!!
Music Direct ruined MFSL? How do you figure? Have you heard some of the excellent MoFi releases that have been coming out lately? (Music from Big Pink and the Basement Tapes come to mind) Unless there is some aspect of MFSL I don't know about, I think Music Direct is doing a great job carrying on those vinyl releases.
I completely agree with Roscoeiii. I have every MOFI LP released by Music Direct, (and almost all of the MOFI LPs ever issued).

I find almost all of them to be superb. Yes, there may be a dog or two, but as a whole, Music Direct has done a GREAT job with the reissues.
Agree with Roscoeii. MoFi's Stage Fright, Big Pink, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Wake of the Flood, Brecker's Pilgrimage-- these are some of best sounding LP reissues in memory.
