Good lesson for folks wanting to do an ultra-high quality vinyl release is to make sure you pick a record plant that also emphasizes quality (which means you usually have to pay a premium) - as what happens downstream of the mastering can often have a bigger effect on the final sound of the record than the mastering itself. |
I'm sure you were out of the loop on it which is a shame. Since vinyl production is a messy business I think its part of the job to help with QC.
I don't find that good work costs extra. I find either you get it or you don't. Everyone is capable of doing good work. It's how problems are handled that seperate the good from the bad. I try to have personal relationships with the people who affect the outcome at the plants. Having knowledge of the production chain and the pitfalls helps. There is no faster way to loose credibility than to complain about something that whovever you are talking about has no control over.
