In Reply to: Who did the mastering for Classic ( not AP) and Analogue Production? posted by kuma on November 27, 2014 at 12:18:13:
I prefer Grundman to Grey, I think Grundman's and Chris Bell's work on the Rhino reissues is superior. That's just my opinion.
Kevin Grey doesn't roll off the top and bottom, there's just a smoothness to his stuff...one of the things I love about playing jazz records is how they sound, it's like the combo is in the room. RVG Blue Notes have more of that than the Music Matters and Analogue Productions reissues, regardless of vintage.
Like I said though this hasn't stopped me from buying the MM and AP repops. They are extremely good and even at the $50 price for the 45s they're less than RVG Blue Notes.
