@Nicholas Anything's possible as long as the masters or a really good safety copy still exist. People thought that Roger would never play with David again after their acrimonious split. Pigs did fly and they performed together. There are no absolutes; plus it would be very appropriate to put out a 50th Anniversary pressing of the '70's PF albums in the future starting with DSOTM. We also don't know if Chad has been working on LZ and PF releases for a very long time. He says it often takes years to produce a release. I still hold out hope that we'll see some nice LZ and PF releases next year.

Chad, i love what your company has been doing, and is my favorite label of all time. I don’t usually buy full on runs from audiophile labels, but I had to buy the CCR and Doors AP albums because I absolutely LOVE them. I also have the Buddy Holly S/T, Steppenwolf Greatest Hits, and some of the Beach Boys albums. The quality that goes into these records are unbelievable and unmatchable. I’ve always preferred AP over MFSL just because y’all have QRP and actually do a full catalogue instead of doing random titles like MFSL does. If I can ask for anything: we don’t have any Velvet Underground records in print at all. We go to record stores and we see the “Vinyl Lovers” label, a Russian off shoot label from the 2000s. I’d also love to see Cream, as the only audiophile record pressing they have is a pressing of “Fresh Cream” done on the DCC label. Finally, you already know, I want to see Led Zeppelin on Analogue Productions! All those plates, we know you have them ;) if not them, why not the Who catalogue or the CSN(Y) catalogue? We know you have those plates haha! Much love from your fans, including me. You’re an absolute stud and a leader, thank you for bringing us some of the best sounding records ever.

They had special ordered this set for another customer and then offered it to me. nearly all of the LP's were unacceptably warped--in the shrink wrap mind you. My record store owner, who I consider a friend, said the distributor wouldn't give him full price back on a return that was opened and I wasn't going to screw my dealer.

The sales of vinyl has steadily increased since we started Acoustic Sounds in 1986 to the point that we needed to buy our own pressing plant in 2010. As many people know, when Covid started, people were forced to stay home. It poured gasoline on a fire so to speak. Our business doubled in the two years of lockdown and it's still growing. We made this deal before Covid, we weren't selling near as many records before Covid.

Research “Blue Haven Studios” and Analog Productions Originals (APO) - mostly blues artists, though. Another team focused on super high quality recordings is Octave Records (from PS Audio)…look “em up. My final recommend for extremely high quality recordings with minimal mic’ing techniques and live music/ direct to 2 track is Mapleshade Records - they dont do vinyl, though. Just CDs, but the sound quality is out of this world good with a pretty wide range of music styles to boot.
