Dusty Chalk Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Only one cellist, though. I mean, if you're going to go string quartet, there's the whole String Quartet Tribute to... series, including several metal bands (Tool comes to mind; I also think the Joy Division/New Order one would be enjoyed, though they're not metal, they are instrumental [all of them]). Rodrigo y Gabriela? Not cellos, but (a) rawk ( instrumentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Al, Mike or jp# any of you guys get the Impulse! 45 reissues that just came out? I'm curious where they were pressed. I have been dawdling on these -- especially because of the other two series I am in for the Blue Notes -- but I have contacted AS to see about signing up. I asked about where they were pressed when I emailed Heather. At least one knowledgeable SH Forums guy with the first three titles thinks they were pressed at Pallas. From talking with Steve Hoffman previously, it seemed that he had worked on the first 7-8 titles and of the first 12 sides, 10 had his initials in the dead wax along with Kevin Gray's. That would seem to confirm he was involved to an extent, although KG will do a great job solo as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I wanted to post something here because I posted about buying some HD Tracks recently and others were talking about doing the same. On Computer Audiophile they are saying that there has been some credit card fraud that users believe originated from HDT purchases. Luckily, I used Paypal and don't see any problems associated, but I have not been able to get onto their site today, so here is the link for anyone interested: WARNING!

deepak Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yesterday Nothing like strolling into Half Price Books, picking up 8 classical LPs (including one 6 record box set of Haydn symphonies) for $14 after tax to have all of them play perfectly, except for a bit of surface noise on one of them (and only on one side). I need to: 1) move the fuck out of New England 2) get more half days 3) major upgrade for my vinyl setup 4) and feel a bit shitty for buying so many $50 jazz 45s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Al, Mike or jp# any of you guys get the Impulse! 45 reissues that just came out? I'm curious where they were pressed. Plunge taken on both AP (25 titles) and ORG (7 titles) subscriptions. First 3 from AP and first two from ORG on their way to me today. I love the Impulse! stuff so I had to do it. Heather at AS confirmed that it is her understanding the AP titles are pressed at RTI. Here's to hoping they do them right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penger Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Do you know if the Blue Note SACD remasters have run into any issues? If not, I think they've really dropped the ball seeing as the LPs keep coming but the SACDs have all but stopped for the past 6+ months. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 They seem totally disorganized and I am amazed how long they can drag out these releases. I have not seen anything on the SACDs for a long time. I would check the Hoffman forum for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penger Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hrm... took a look at what's being said in the SH forums and it seems people are blaming the legal department for the backlog in addition to the backlog that exists at the few SACD plants remaining. Hard to say since none are really substiantiated from what I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
