Reviews and Commentaries for Made In Japan
To our dismay, we discovered that some of the stampers for some of the sides on some of the British import pressings are actually sourced from a well known American cutting house. When those sides did poorly in the shootout, naturally we wanted to know more about them in order to avoid buying any more pressings with those markings.
We had no idea the British would “import” the metalwork from here, but they did, and the results were not good, at least not for us audiophiles. I hope it goes without saying that we will not be selling any versions of the album that are not cut in England.
This is what you learn when you have lots of copies of the same album and play them against each other.
We constantly Experiment with Different Record Pressings this way and we recommend you do the same.
Carry out as many experiments as you can find time for. The quality of your collection — at least the sonic quality of your collection — will improve immensely.
