Geffen Records lp's

I have 3 Geffen records, all mint, and they are without question the biggest letdowns (sonically) in my collection. I have bought doubles in the hopes that I had simply gotten 'bad' copies to no avail.
Anyone else share this experience? Or can you point me to some good geffen pressings? They were a killer label!

Ponnie, I agree with you.

The golden age of vinyl preceded the 80's. More and more (not all) vinyl products were suffering deeply by the time CDs came into vogue.

GEffen cam into existence late in the game during the vinyl era, so perhaps that and other newer labels suffered as a whole more so then some others that had been around for a while.

"Double Fantasy" by John Lennon on Geffen is not bad as I recall.

On the other extreme the first "Asia" album from Geffen about a year or two later is a huge letdown as you describe.

I don't know if any more meaning can be inferred other than some were good and some were bad as was common with many labels back then.
