GZ pressed the VMP Miles Davis - The Electric Years box set. These are pristine sounding recordings - read other reviews of this set; most everybody considers these to be at least as good, if not better, than the MoFi ones....
Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value?
Are poor quality modern pressings actually providing a valued service? Is very poor quality actually providing the consumer with a good if after purchase there is buyers remorse due to pressing and vinyl mastering quality? GZ Media is directly in my sights. I love to support great artists, but find myself either regretting purchases from this plant or now entirely avoiding supporting an artist that gets pressed here. What say you.

Hi @j-wall - I wish I could find that article or video where the fellow from Vinyl Me Please addressed the concerns about GZ pressing, and how GZ did such an awesome job on the Miles set and some others from VMP. But he's the one that mentioned that GZ gets pressing jobs from all kinds of labels, and quality control may not be the best at some of them, or they may have just been poorly recorded. But in essence, it's 'Don't blame the pressing plant for bad pressings if they were given something bad to press'.... But yeah, when that happens, people can easily draw the wrong conclusions that the plant is the problem. |
Totally agree with you, @j-wall - I think I may have heard about GZ on one of the VMP podcasts for the Miles Davis set; there were 4 of them, and I think they discussed this on either the 2nd or 3rd one. |
