Wayne Shorter: Speak No Evil | Ben Leggett - December 20, 2024

I was curious to see how this mastering compared to UCGQ-9019 (which I also have) so I bought this one as well. They are VERY close (unsurprisingly). This one is mastered a ...

Allan Holdsworth: Sand | Downunderman - November 20, 2024

This one from also from the same label: 801: 801 Live Given that the hybrid disk is made in Europe by Sony DADC maybe makes it more likely ...

Yes, there is more than enough evidence to suggest that this label is not a legitimate one. Go to Discogs and type in IAC Music Japan and take a look at the over 150 releases ...

The Velvet Underground: Loaded | Mark Werlin - December 15, 2024

Reviews of the Atlantic 75 Audiophile 45 RPM two-LP version are stellar (cut by Ryan K. Smith). I'm looking forward to hearing this SACD.
