New Vinyl


Has anyone purchased any pressings from Pete Hutchison’s Electric Recording Company? If so, what did you buy and what do you think of the quality?

I've read some articles that say Hutchison now makes what many consider the finest records on Earth. It is said he meticulously crafts reissues of jazz and classical titles (including his prized Mozart) from the 1950s and ’60s—wrapped in letter ­pressed sleeves—that sell for $350 or more. Hutchison’s outfit, the Electric Recording Co., mints no more than 300 copies of each ­album.

Are they worth the money?

Looks like everything they have is sold out. Good for them. Remember, $350 is less expensive to the wealthy than $35 would be to me. 
The reason the Electric Recording Co. LP’s sellout, even though priced at $350, is because original pressings are selling for ten times that amount. The titles being released are very, very rare, and very much desired by collectors. Hence the price they fetch (supply vs. demand). Luckily, no titles I need or want. ;-)
I just came from their web site. The vast majority of their catalog is sold out. One Bach disc goes for 500 sterling. It is all mastered on old equipment and does not mention who is doing the pressing. I already have an excellent Riverside copy of "Everyone Digs Bill Evans" which I paid maybe $20 for. Why on God's Green Earth would I spend $600.
If I were rich I suppose I might try one. I'd rather get 25-30 records for the same money and expand my collection. 
They are not originals. They are reissues and will never be worth what the originals are.
