Buying vinyl is very hit and miss and can be very frustrating. Like you said there are a lot of hipster labels that put out trash. I have found the company Acoustic Sounds to put out very consistent high quality vinyl. You just have to make sure that they are the one's pressing the vinyl and it is coming from the original master tapes. I always call over there and discuss it with someone before I buy. I know it's more time consuming this way but you have a better chance of getting the better quality vinyl this way.
Recording Quality and Different Studios
Hi Everyone,
Are there any artists / studios that you gravitate to because of recording quality standards? I hear alot of discussion on certain pressings for a particular artist (i.e. needle in a haystack), but I'm wondering if there is a label out there that focus on putting out good quality high fidelity vinyl. I want to avoid some of the hipster pressings (i.e. only pressed on vinyl to jump on the train), and focus on better quality. Thoughts?
