The reason the Electric Recording Co. LP’s sellout, even though priced at $350, is because original pressings are selling for ten times that amount. The titles being released are very, very rare, and very much desired by collectors. Hence the price they fetch (supply vs. demand). Luckily, no titles I need or want. ;-)

Has anyone purchased any pressings from Pete Hutchison’s Electric Recording Company? If so, what did you buy and what do you think of the quality?
I've read some articles that say Hutchison now makes what many consider the finest records on Earth. It is said he meticulously crafts reissues of jazz and classical titles (including his prized Mozart) from the 1950s and ’60s—wrapped in letter pressed sleeves—that sell for $350 or more. Hutchison’s outfit, the Electric Recording Co., mints no more than 300 copies of each album.

Are they worth the money?
