"...Few albums inspired the reactions and registered the impact of the Stooges’ primordial self-titled debut.

You have to applaud Grover Biery and his team at Because Sound Matters for giving us something different in the world of audiophile LP reissues. Grover has reached out and delivered on the unexpected, which includes new One-Step titles from Linkin Park, Green Day, K.D. Lang, and even The Flaming Lips (in the near future). All have an appeal for those of us who are seeking the ultimate sound and packaging for some of our most favorite albums. Until now, many just didn't get the attention that they deserved, while other titles were reissued over and over again in several different formats. Thanks to Grover, the door has been opened and with great fanfare and success. The future looks bright for even more surprises!

Miles Davis’ Birth of the Blue 180g 1LP Set From Analogue Productions Is an Astounding-Sounding Companion to His Seminal 1959 LP, Kind Of Blue

(excerpted from article by Ken Micalief, Analog Planet)

For all you inquiring specs geeks like us, we have confirmed that the original 3-track recording-session tapes for Birth of the Blue (a.k.a. BOTB) were mixed down to a new 30ips quarter-inch stereo master tape by mastering engineer Vic Anesini at Battery Studios. The very busy Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab cut the lacquers from Anesini’s tape using Doug Sax’s all-tube system and cutting lathe. The lacquers were plated and pressed on 180g vinyl at Chad Kassem’s Quality Record Pressings in Salinas, Kansas. (The BOTB release was Kassem’s idea.) A Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket and updated artwork beautifully replicate a Columbia LP release circa 1959. Liner notes from acclaimed jazz historian Ashley Kahn, author of Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece, blanket both sides of the inner-gate, and they’re tremendously informative.

Sean Thompson's WEIRD EARS Debut LP (Curation Records)

“…When you see the description “OLD STYLE” record jacket it doesn’t mean that it’s modeled after the classic style…it means it’s printed/fabricated that way, by hand w/the machines not all computers. STOUGHTON PRINTING has been doin it for over 50 years and it’s a good chance your favorite record had it’s jacket printed by them. Stoughton Printing does it the best. Straight shooters, friendly, talented folks…you can go pick up your jackets in person. Super service even in these times! You’re gonna love the finished product from the pristine vinyl to the creative designed die-cut sleeve by @dnorsen_design." --CURATION RECORDS
