Joe, can you share any comments on the sound quality of the De Falla and any of the other ORG London Classical 45s that have been released thus far you've heard?

My point of reference will be the Speakers Corner reissues of these at 33rpm, which were good but seemed to be missing life and energy. My guess is that they are missing some of the low level detail and resolution that I've heard, for example, on the Tape Project R-t-R dub of the Albeniz.

Rush, I subscribed to the series of the first 10 releases. The first four arrived on Friday, but I have only had the time to clean and listen to the De Falla (Walker Prelude 4 step x 2 LPs)

The recordings are "high, wide, and well articulated" the sound overall is very good, Grundeman's new cutting lathe clearly living up to the hype. My copy has some surface noise, even after cleaning, on side 1.

I am looking forward to giving a thorough listen to the Albeniz next, as I can compare it to the Tape Project version and the "Super Analogue Disc" 33rpm reissue as well. I will post my impressions here.
Thanks, Joe! I look forward to your comments on these. I heard the Albeniz on a friend's system recently. It sounded very good but I'm not familiar enough with his system to assess the LP and guess what it might sound like at my place.

Joe, if the Albeniz you're referring to is that wonderful Decca recording of the Suite Espanola, I would be interested in your impressions as well. The Super Analog disc version sounds a bit tilted towards the bass frequencies in my system (as do a lot of those reissues)compared to the Speakers Corner reissue, I'd be interested in how it (and the other versions) sound on your Walker.
Having listened to the Tape Project tape of the Albeniz, I think I am pretty comfortable with how it "should" sound. I agree that overall, the Super Analogue 33 is pretty good, it does lean toward the midbass and below. Backing off the VTA helps but it's at the expense of the other frequencies. If I get enough time tonight, I will clean it and give the ORG a spin and report back.
