Interesting project started by Michael Fremer

Doesn't he have anything better to do, I wonder? But if he is really interested in the project, he can finance it all by himself. Not really big money.

Inna, really?
Even assuming that there are no mechanical rights to pay, he still needs a
master use license, needs somebody to do the mastering, has to pay a
pressing plant to manufacture, and deal with getting the thing packaged and
distributed. Why should he finance it all by himself? Do you know what the
costs are to do this?
FWIW, I think it is a legitimate issue- more and more records are being
reissued using digital masters. Can people really hear the difference? My bet
is that a good digital remaster is better than a bad analog one, but who
knows? That's the point of the exercise...
And no, I have no horse in this race.
PS: and if Symphonic Dances was composed in 1940 based on a quick
intraweb look- I didn't really research the publication history of the
compositions involved--mechanicals would have to be paid as well.

If you follow AnlaogPlanet like I do, they have been talking about this for several months now.

I think it's a great idea, however, I'm a little upset that the initial $10, (yeah I know it's only 10 bucks) won't go towards the LP? Seems like we are funding the project, but don't reap any of the benefits like a "normal" KickStarter campaign.

Hopefully this will change and at least give us something back for actually getting it done.

Yes, I gave my $10 to the project.

*can anyone tell the difference ? Thats the Question*

To tell or not to tell, that is the question?
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer the Slings and Arrows of outrageous analog, or to take arms against a sea of quantifying troubles. (Hamlet?)

Let the games begin,
Best mastering wins.
