no indication whether music direct will release only digital products or will do as mfsl always did best, pressing remastered recordings on virgin VINYL. anybody any more know about this? -kelly

Kelly, the Music Direct form to get our opinions that I got in the mail today asks us to rate from 1-4 the formats we'd like, among gold CDs, SACD, DVD-A and vinyl. So they're not ruling out vinyl yet. Hopefully that question is asked on-line as well.

I visit Music Direct every now and then. As such, i know that several of the employees are "vinyl addicts". As such, i'm sure that they WILL do some vinyl, but how much is anyone's guess. Sean

MoFi missed the mark on a great many of their CDs, too. In many instances, the original release sounded better than MoFi's remastered version. Looking at Holman's original post at the top of this thread, he said "Music Direct...has bought Mobile Fidelity and plan to start RELEASHING music again." That typo may have been the ultimate in Freudian slips!
