In Reply to: Nobody here talking about the Warner vinyl reissue announcement? posted by bangsezmax on April 23, 2007 at 19:01:58:
Seems like they are taking a big chance on a niche market. Not generally something that a big company would do. Who knows? Maybe they will be a trend setter. They do have a large vault of music to work from.
There was one sentence that I didn't understand though. What does Steve mean when he says
Mastering legend Stan Ricker has cut from hi-rez digital DIRE STRAITS/Brothers In Arms, etc. and most of you have grabbed JONI MITCHELL's/Blue, our first Rhino "reissue vinyl" attempt.
It seems like the DS Brothers was cut from a digital master and not analog. I suppose that there were no analog masters for BIA. Indications are that the back catalog will be reissued using analog because that's what they have to work with. But how about the new issues, ie White Stripes, etc?
Still, this is exciting news for the vinyl lover
Life has lots of trials and lots of music to help us through them.
Follow Ups:
i would bet that the "investment" is not a large one by warner/rhino size. probably 5-10,000 lp's pressed at most, at least to begin with. in otherwords, they're going to produce these for the niche market.
.
I believe anything from an analog source will be done by Hoffman and Gray. Anything from a digital source will be done by Stan Ricker (who did a phenomenal job with the US issue of Green Day's American Idiot).This was from Steve Hoffman:
"We are working on the new WHITE STRIPES/Icky Thump right now (from amazing sounding 1" 30 ips master tapes)"
Sounds like an analog source to me.
"We are working on the new WHITE STRIPES/Icky Thump right now (from amazing sounding 1" 30 ips master tapes)"Yeah. I saw that after I posted. BTW, thanks for the link to Hoffman's post. I had heard about WB's plans, but this brings more credibility to what was rumor

IMHO somebody is making money selling lps in the aftermarket, albeit used. Take ebay for example. Who better than a large company to take on the risk and see if they can get some of that revenue? They have the physical plant and cash flow to asbord a failed plan. Of course the aftermarket will always be there. Let's hope this is a winner for WB, then perhaps other large labels will follow suit. Who knows maybe Best Buy and Circuit City will have to start stocking vinyl to keep their heads above water.Regards,

I had thought about other companies possibly following their lead, but hadn't thought about Circuit City etc starting to keep vinyl in stock. That would be nice.

I don't think they would ever want to deal with a warped record, or would you want the hassle to return it.Salespeople get fired there for high return figures or low warrantee sales as a portion of overall sales volume. Don't expect a rush of help when you walk in to get a record.
