Chad Kassem's Top 20 Analogue Productions/Prestige LP Picks & 2023 Repressing Update

[@Michael45RPM]

This is such a great series! It was so hard to get them, while they have not been in Stock. So good that you are putting them on the Press again!!! keep em coming Chad, we need them :-)

[@Anthony-fz7uf]

Question you never mention issues with some AP and UHQR on your site ? Why is that ? Lemme guess you are sell his stuff in Germany and you do not want to rock the boat . Yet you pick apart MOFI every chance ya get. Thats a pretty bias review in my opinion. If you go on to other boards ie Steve Hoffman is one . Search and see for your self. Also try to get your you tube video below 15 minutes. One of the RCA member jump out her basement window after the 20 th minute

@@Anthony-fz7ufMOFI lied and a lot of people feel betrayed. MOFI we’re in most all analog fans top two audiophile record reissue companies. Not anymore and I understand why. Simple, one step my ar@e.

[@itsvladzino3246]

@@Anthony-fz7uf business is business my friend. I like the man known as 45 rpm. Great move to become AP's EU branch. Music on plastic is a treat no one really needs nowadays, regardless of the label, truth be really told. Peace

[@Anthony-fz7uf]

You are missing my point . But your right about one thing it is about making money .

[@BattManion1979]

@@Anthony-fz7uf Absolutely. M45 is in it for the cash. He used to think MOFI was the greatest thing on earth. He sneaks around and pretends to be a friend of the used store hunters who can only afford $5 records. He is a creep, so is Chad, Mazzy too, with his constant record sales of dead people.

[@christopherhaupt8676]

The prestige series is simply incredible. Thank you for the update!

[@adamweeks614]

I cannot say this enough: I am so thankful for Chad and everyone working hard over at Acoustic Sounds/QRP! It’s truly amazing how we, the vinyl community, have access to such great pressings of such great titles. I’ve started to think of my collection as an art collection. This is largely because I understand how much hard work goes into pressing an audiophile quality album. KZbin let’s us in the back door of the pressing plant so we get to know all the people that make this happen. And the albums sound better than ever. We’re in a golden age of vinyl. Thank you all.

[@seansrecords]

i have an OG out of the forrest - amazing bluesy jazz record . worth having

[@Geoduck.]

Lightnin' Hopkins - Goin' Away. I've got to say this is one amazing LP. Old cliché but it's as if Mr Hopkins was in the room. Thank you Analogue Productions team and Chad for making this possible.

[@Les3201]

Thanks again for reissuing this series. Great to see some of these are being “re-reissued”. I am still waiting for my pre-ordered copy of Boss Tenor….that’s the last one on my list after Cookin’ arrives. The quality of these has been outstanding. Congratulations to you and your team !

[@djjoeykmusic]

Great video! Thank you for the update. Thank you so much for all the awesome albums and hard work. I appreciate you Have a wonderful one

[@baruti]

Thank you, Chad! As one who has ordered and received most of the titles in the series, I look forward to the repressing of the remaining titles that have been ordered. Keep doing what you and your team does. Kudos!!!

[@xentakis]

“The Tenor Scene” is extremely underrated. In my opinion that is one of the best live jazz albums I’ve ever heard!

[@BillsBoxOfSound]

I was gonna make my own comment, but I will just chime in and say I couldn't agree more. This LP gets the party goin'!

[@matthew4155-h6e]

Ive had the Miles Davis titles pre-ordered for over a year now. So happy to see they are getting on the press! Thanks Chad! As just an overall fan of music, what drew me to jazz was just how good it sounds!

[@ernestocamela1287]

Ordered the last two Dolphy. Only 16 to complete the 50. Keep ‘em coming! hoping to complete the Prestige series this year. Not only among the best sounding LPs in my collection, also musically this Prestige sessions have something special. Cheers from your (only?) loyal customer from Uruguay.

[@jctai100]

Don't rush on our account. We purchase from you based on quality! Thank you for your great work Chad!

[@jeffreyweinberg3979]

New drinking game: take a shot every time Chad says “Highly recommended” while watching this video.

[@FleagleSangria]

Between Michael, yourself and my own favorite list of these..just get em all! 😁

[@Michael45RPM]

wise words John wise words .....

[@Rheasound]

Some of the titles are back order but not pre order. Thanks for the update!! MD bags groove already arrived! Thank you!!!

[@Rheasound]

I would like to receive an answer, will be posible?

[@MichaelCollins-me]

I hope those represses come through as I have two from that batch! Any update for "Lush Life", "Rollins Plays For Bird", "Boss Tenor" and "The Freedom Book"? Those are the last four to get the whole run. Fingers crossed I'll get those sooner than later! The "Quiet Kenny" is fantastic!!

[@Mikey_JJ]

My body is ready for the Exodus UHQR this week.

[@harlem2nyc]

excited for these upcoming new releases 😎✌️

[@heroyaldog]

Thank You, Chad!

[@hemantishwaran5741]

Wow most of your top 20 are my personal favorites. After watching you I always have the urge to listen to my TT

[@arum236]

Im so happy to see I can get a copy of Jimmy Forrest now!

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Very sweet man looking forward to some of those

[@Diatonic5th]

Far Cry is one of my all time favorite Eric Dolphy albums. Looking forward to adding this pressing to my collection!

[@therevrockinrollin]

Fantastic video - love this

[@Daniel-hk3ru]

Great list of your Top 20 Chad !!

[@bangoash]

Hi Chad, I would like to hear how did you come to select the titles for this series? Were they all your favs? Did you go for the best sellers? Thank you!

[@chadkassem5881]

My favorites and ones with Great sound and best sellers and sometimes a few rare ones that are hard to find. We have to look at everything. We try to please alot of people but realize this is very hard to do. We will keep trying!I

[@krwd]

Chad, as always keep up the great work.

[@damontalksrecords6484]

Any fan of jazz would be silly not to pick up these, amazing value and amazing sound, I’m an OG man, but it’s not possible to get originals of all of these in top condition without getting very lucky or having plenty cash! Look forward to what AS has in store for us!

[@chriss6302]

Hey Chad, great stuff. It would be great if the series could be expanded with more reissues of Prestige Bluesville titles, e.g. Hopkins - Last Night Blues, K.C. Douglas, Robert Curtis Smith, etc. Wonder if the tapes have survived??

[@chadkassem5881]

I love the Bluesville Label and would love to put Many out but have so many other Records to press

[@MrJasonMeans]

Was I the only one zooming in on the UHQRs behind him trying to make out of there are any titles like Led Zeppelin?? Hehe

[@analoguecity3454]

People call me weird because I prefer recorded music over live music! In concerts (too me) the drums and bass sound overpowering, and the music has a distorted sound to it! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy concerts, but a well made recording in full analogue is so nice and addicting! Everyday I can't wait to put something on my turntable to give me my fix! Great sound definitely "enhances" the music 🎶 🎵 which is get real , the reason we listen! People satisfied with CDs are missing out, People who are satisfied with mp3s are REALLY missing out! Just it brings the artist out in front of you! This is all "subjective" and is my opinion, but I am entitled to it just like you are to yours! I respect that!

[@DC-xx4kv]

Chad, can you say when you will press Arthur Fiedler - Offenbach: Gaite Parisienne RCA Living Stereo, again? Thx

[@quinnmarshall8653]

Where is the repress of Lush Life? I think I've had that on backorder for a year now - ever since it was first announced that these Prestige represses were happening.

[@Anthony-fz7uf]

Academy Records in Brooklyn has many of these 1 pressing mono or stereo .Free Shipping

[@Rigs275]

Good Good Stuff Chad

[@michaelfavreau7617]

If I could afford the fees and customs and shipping, I would only buy all my records from Acoustic Sounds. ( I`m in Canada )

[@michaelgallay]

same here, it’s weird at my local shop acoustic sounds series can sometimes be as low as $35 CAD and sometimes up to $70 + CAD for the same record

[@AsTheTableTurns]

When will you be pressing the Boss Tenor?

[@humidorsey6686]

Yes please, Boss Tenor, The Freedom Book estimated press dates please, thanks!

[@TheLarsonmanor]

Can we get an update on the Steely Dan UHQR shipping dates Chad? I don't want to cry later 😁

[@SamWesting]

When is the SACD version of Countdown To Ecstasy being released?

[@birsansilviu-lucian892]

Lightnin’ Hopkins - Soul Blues will be repressed?

[@joex2504]

Chad, will you repress all the Prestige LPs or only the ones that you've just shown us ? The Prestige MONO are the jewells on your crown. Nothing can be compared to it. The STEREO are also fantastic. Your Prestige series transform me into an ecstatic time traveller.

[@johnkreutz3207]

Are you going to press Working miles Davis album too

[@dburgette7577]

Eric Dolphy Outward Bound is great! Listen to "Les" on the A Side and sit back and marvel. The players are in sync the entire way and sound like they are late for an important date.

[@dsonyay]

I asked the same question is another video.. but will ask again here- why didnt yall do Workin in this series? Y’all did Steamin, Relaxin, and Cookin… why was workin left offf??? Is this the reason Craft / OJC is putting out workin??

[@Astro-bs4wv]

Hey Chad, any word on tommy flannigan overseas?

[@mpw116]

Will we ever see Satchmo Plays King Oliver again?

[@Mongodaze234]

Chad, why hasn’t Miles Davis - ‘Workin’ ever been part of the reissue series along with the others??

[@chadkassem5881]

I released this as a 45 RPM and Part of a Box set. Also it will be coming out on the New OJC series. Also I picked 50 Prestige Titles . I thought 3 out of the 5 Miles Davis on Prestige was a good number. It looks like they will be doing a good job on Workin, You can pre order it on Acoustic Sounds Web Site

[@mccarthyd6603]

Wow....if you look over Chad's right shoulder on the bottom of that stack of records is a UHQR copy of Led Zeppelin 1.....unbelievable teaser video!!!!

[@carrion_man3700]

Hilarious.

[@michaelgallay]

there 1 records that was issued by classic records . all analog blues gem , I’m sure Chad loves it… Chris Whitley - Dirt Floor . I’m sure it will eventually be repressed :)

[@spartanjaws1039]

How much of my soul do you need for Overseas by Tommy Flanagan to get repressed?

[@dustinshaver3173]

I hope one day acoustic sounds started making their own jackets ! I've waited almost a year for those miles davis album to be repressed! waiting on jackets 😴 😩

[@tcr02]

When is Lush Life getting repressed?

[@georgemunteanu4040]

What about some Led Zep?

[@jc-vg2vx]

Any Jack mcduff?

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Why not press more so everyone can have a copy?

[@carrion_man3700]

Who's stopping you from buying now?

[@freightdawg6762]

you teasin' us chad with that aja over your left shoulder ? 😆

[@mliu472]

Please repress Lush Life!

[@FogAndLime]

"ACCESSIBLE".....wtf does that even mean!? it's not a term people into music use. it sounds more like a sales pitch word.

[@jonathanergueta]

Star making UHQR for Alice Coltrane.

[@simonyap4660]

I can’t take my eyes away from the Aja UHQR behind you.

[@zackamania6534]

One thing that bothers me is how this dude always goes to what the records go for on eBay or on other auction sites…

[@fizzlebomber674]

so what are you trying to sell now, what is gonna sell out within the hour if i dont jump on it asap? freaking joke
