What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers

Don't know how I missed this thread. Most of the big winners and losers have been called out. Love the list from @spiritofradio. A couple I didn't see:

Great:  Acony  (Gillian Welch & David Rawling's label
The Tone Poet and Blue Note Classic series

Might be great...Sam Records raves everywhere, I've got a couple on my holiday wishlist.

Underrated: OJC aka Original Jazz Classics still great values, especially used.

Bad: DOL the worst overpriced reissues.

Lately, I've been impressed with almost everything recently pressed at QRP and RTI; that wasn't the case a few years ago. QA improvements across the board! Cheers,
Spencer

@bslon, I am encouragingly surprised by your positive comments on so many of the big labels. Are you talking about what they put out now or the old stuff? For example, I find really good pressing from the late 60s and 70s on Reprise, Chrysalis, Atlantic. But the big label reissues pressed at places like Rainbow mostly stink. 

These differences lead me to finding great value in reading up and watching videos on label variations. Here's an example:

or just ask yourself WWWD - What Would @whart Do?

A daunting topic for sure...but interesting and worthwhile. Cheers,
