Best sounding vinyl

both Classic Records and Analog Productions are pressing 45rpm records that are the current state-of-the-art as far as 'best sounding'. it is also very fortunate that they both have chosen some of history's best performances and recordings to re-issue on these 45's.

Groove Note, Cisco, Speaker's Corner and 4 Men With Beards are other excellent labels that have very consistent performance.

In addition to Classic Records, Analog Productions, and the other labels listed above, there is a new Japanese label called "Eighty-Eights" which is releasing brand new jazz recordings (with top name American jazz artists) that are pressed on 180 gram Quiex vinyl. The sole review about this label that I have read (in TAS) was very positive. Releases from "Eighty-Eights" will soon be distributed by Analog Productions.
