Geffen Records lp's

I was going to talk about the Pat Metheny recordings but I see someone beat me to it. The sound quality of "Still Life" is very good, but the pressing itself and vinyl suck. My Geffin label pressing suffers from noisy bad vinyl. too bad, as the Metheny recording is wonderful. Had to resort to buying the CD for sound without the dirty vinyl noise. and in my experience, no amount of cleaning gets out that dirt pressed into the vinyl itself.

Jonnyb53: You are prob. right about the pressing.. I'd have to buy 10 diff. LP's like the "Hot Stamper" guy and then I'm prob. sure one of them would be absent of the 'noise' I have in mine.. It was just easier to buy the cd of that title, which sounds great also without the noise. I think I have the next Metheny after "Still Life" also on Geffen and if I remember right there is no problem with the vinyl on that one. One nice thing about the ECM pressings is that I've NEVER had bad vinyl from them.. and they were pressing right into 1991 or so.. and the German imports of that period are exceptional pressing quality.
