The Wonderful Sounds Of Quality Record Pressings includes music handpicked by Acoustic Sounds CEO Chad Kassem and classical music tracks chosen by the team at Reference Recordings. This collection of songs originally appeared on a sampler LP in 2008 celebrating the 125th anniversary of Thorens. That set is long out of print and now in extremely high demand.
“I cherry-picked each of these songs to have a variety of great-sounding music. Since the Thorens sampler, many of the records that contain these songs have been pressed by Quality Record Pressings. Because we are celebrating more than 10 years of QRP and all of the hard work of our very talented and qualified team, we thought this would be an excellent opportunity to bring this amazing collection back into circulation,” — Chad Kassem, Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions CEO
Every song meets the criteria of excellent performance, perfect recording and flawless mastering. What better way to celebrate such a monumental anniversary for one of the absolute leading brands in analog high fidelity than with this to-die-for LP sampler? Contains most genres of music — blues, jazz, classical, R&B and female vocal. From now on, you’ll only need to carry one demo record around with you.
Vinyl expert Michael Fremer, of The Tracking Angle and The Absolute Sound, gives you a track-by-track tour of the history and production of the songs on this special album.
What separates our world-renowned Quality Record Pressings LPs from other manufacturers? Since Acoustic Sounds CEO Chad Kassem launched QRP in 2011, the focus has been on producing consistently virtually silent vinyl playing surfaces.
The craft of pressing fine vinyl is perfected in such details. Such as plating lacquers within 24 hours of their arrival at the plant. Cut grooves are prone to change with temperature fluxuations, high humidity and time. The sooner that lacquers are plated, the better the fidelity of the final pressing. Other keys include using a proprietary silver spray formulation, made fresh daily. The result — more consistency in each LP. The ultimate sonic advantage.
