I have recently gone back to analog and boy what a difference...Forget Digital!! Does anyone out there know of really good sites to purchase Classical, Jazz and Rock LPs?...I would appreciate your help...Thanx
To update my last posting, The Classical Collector does have a website, www.classicalcollector.com, and the phone no. is (847) 864-3981. Great guy, great records.
My experience with Ebay has been mixed. If you buy from an EBAY POWER SELLER, you should be fine. Privately, you take your chances. People tend to over-rate their stuff. You can get, in limited selections, CDNOW.com. Your need to be pretty detailed on your search. Best bet is to try by the title. Also, CLASSICRECS.COM as well as others mentioned.
Mjc ~ My understanding is the pressings are done according to the who the label/manufacturer is. For instance Mob Fid records were pressed by Mob Fid, etc. Generally the labels they cary all have respectable pressings. It is the source of the master tape which will have more effect on the sound than the pressing. It is not always apparent however and amusicdirect will probably not be able to answer. But generally speaking, better labels can get access to the master. What you want to avoid is records that were made from a DAT or other than master tape. I am not an expert or even well versed on vinyl howerer this is just what I know and you should check the feedback others give.
