And entrepreneur Chad Kassem, If you don't know it yet this man has been doing big things in the record business. I have been finding that Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressing have been knocking out some of the best records worldwide. The venerable and now defunct Classic Records used to be the best in my opinion but the shoes have been filled in a big way with Analogue Productions titles. If they have a title you like your done with your search, as you just found the best.
Kassem has been making all the right moves in this business starting his own label, pressing plant and mastering studio.
In this thread I'll start dumping documented information and history. Just this past year alone he bought 13 more presses for QRP and acquired Doug Sax Mastering Lab founder of, Sax and Mayorga, Sheffield Lab Recordings.
I have been trying to also find out a list of titles that where contracted to have QRP produce. Pressing is half the battle for a grate record and just because it doesn't have a Analogue Productions sticker on the cover it could have been pressed at QRP. I have seen that one of the big contracts for QRP was from the Hendrix Family. A lot of the new reissues where pressed there in 200g and so forth, we're talking dead quiet vinyl now. The reason I am bringing this up? Most Analogue Productions titles are pure audiophile that cost an average of $50 a title. However you all might have heard Rush has been doing all new remasters and on 200g vinyl, well I just got Rush: Feedback, and it was done at QRP...$21.98, just got a Cars, S/T yep QRP...$19.98.
