TheVinylPress.com

As some of you know, I have been pursuing vinyl and audio for a long time, and recently decided to write about it. I launched a site called http://TheVinylPress.com which is devoted to older records that deserve renewed attention. The site launched quietly last month with a feature about the U.S.Library of Congress audio-visual restoration archive, and the latest installment features an inteview with Olav Wyper, the creator of the legendary Vertigo Swirl label. For now, this is a labor of love. I hope you find something worthwhile.*

I've just begun a series of related articles, interviews and album reviews on the Island "pink label" era. Once complete, the series will provide a fairly in-depth look at a label whose artists, producers and releases gave us music that was not just influential, but changed the shape of much of what we listen to today. http://thevinylpress.com/island-records-the-pink-label-era/

At the risk of entering the fray, I posted a "thought piece" about
'purist' recordings, the primacy of the source material and notions of
playback "accuracy.' My intention is to provoke thought, not
controversy. [url]http://thevinylpress.com/listening-to-recorded-music-a-
