I own a few Jazz Wax recordings and find them very good. Their Coltrane Lush Life has great separation between instruments and vinyl was quite. No problem here with their catalog
Vinyl reissue labels to avoid?
There is a wealth of music being reissued on vinyl, but not all labels are equal.
There are some excellent vinyl reissue labels that use original anaolg sources and produce very good lps such as Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner Records, RhinOvinyl, Classic Records, Impulse!, Sundazed, etc.
Then there are some dubious EU labels that use cds as "remastered" sources from 50+ yr old recordings due to copyright loopholes (Doxy and WaxTime come to mind). I don't want 180g cds!
Some labels I now avoid:
WaxTime
DOXY
Not Now Music
Jazz Wax Records
Scorpio
Who should we be avoiding, and who should we be buying? I am only interested in 33rpm lps, which we flip as they were meant to (as opposed to the 45rpm reissues which may sound good but take us from sides A&B to 4 unnaturally truncated sides).
For 33rpm reissues, who are the good, the bad, and the ugly?
