It's hit and miss. That goes for used, reissued or new. Here's one I just received from MFSL that is scary quiet: Dead Can Dance "Into The Labyrinth". I have to say that all of the MFSL Silver Label reissues I've recently bought have been exceptional, so I'm pretty happy with them. They all have low--below 300--stamping numbers which may have much to do with their quality. Good luck searching.
Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much?
I'm a thrift shop/garage sale/flea market bottom feeder. Recently got involved with older then new reissues. First 45 album turned out to have manufacturing defects do returned it (MFSL Barber). Traded it for an ORG Diana Krall album (33) and a Cannonball Adderly 45 from AP.
The Diana Krall album has crackles on one side so I think it's going back too. The AP was great - after I cleaned it (quite oily fingerprint covered). I have had a number of OJC albums that are trouble free.
I guess my question is this - as I move up the food chain, should I expect audio improvement combined with manufacturing/packing issues? Am I expecting too much or just bad luck?
