I found Cheek to Cheek to be outstanding. It's on Streamline Records.
Recommendations of good sounding newly pressed LPs
Howdy, everyone! I'm just getting back into analog (after 20 years) and would like recommendations of good sounding new pressings record labels. Got a quite good record store near my house with lots of newly pressed vinyl, but I don't know what labels do good sound. I'd be interested in mostly jazz and classical of all styles.

For new Jazz check out the Newvelle records -- great performances and sonics and you feel special, especially if you are a subscriber to their series as I am https://www.newvelle-records.com/#index For classical there’s not too much genuinely new, Linn is one of the exceptions still going strong in making LPs from their new recordings (although the recordings are of course digital) http://audiophile.elusivedisc.com/search?p=Q&lbc=elusivedisc&uid=57432562&ts=custom&...

Super Analogue LPs!!! I bought a lot while they were in business, as my last Christmas present got a few missing ones at really stupid prices... Tchaikovsky's 5th on DG 13years ago is why I plunged back into vinyl, bought LP first, then Sondek and still trying to find any digital format that beats it! |
@tomryan @sbank @dweller your welcome There’s some other labels/vinyl records that I wouldn’t term audiophile grade, but none the less fairly decent recordings. I will post as time allows. http://paxamrecords.com/?show_section=4sale https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/artists (NOTE: Original label for Ryan Adams. check out Lydia Loveless and the Detroit Cobras on Spotify) (approx. 89 artist recorded) American Recordings - Johnny Cash, plus others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Recordings_(record_label) Boxstar Records - Julie London (out of print) http://store.acousticsounds.com/l/4110/BoxStar - Bobby Darin http://www.purepleasurerecords.com/pure_pleasure_store.html#!/John-Lee-Hooker-&-Canned-Heat-Hook... Except for the Box Star and Pure Pleasure Label, I am pretty sure that the above referenced labels are cut off of DAT. Those that may have listened to anything from Rumble or Wax Time Records, please post your impressions Thnx Brad |
Not a recommendation, listed for info. Interesting catalog, but I have no idea what source material they use. Could be recordings off the radio for all I know. http://www.forcedexposure.com/labels/rumble.records.html https://www.discogs.com/label/248507-Rumble-Records-10 Some info on Rumble Records off the Steve Hoffman Site http://www.forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/wax-time-records-new-vinyl-reissues.303108/ |
