Alex Steinweiss, the album art pioneer!
"I got this idea that the way they were selling these albums was ridiculous. The covers were just big brown, tan or green paper. I said "Who the hell's going to buy this stuff? There's no push to it. There's no attractiveness. There's no sales appeal." So I told them I'd like to start designing covers." -AS
My Vinyl Philosophy
Some sellers rely solely on "visual grading", hiding the fact that even though a record looks pristine, it may sound terrible. Records that I review are play-tested and their sonic qualities described. I won't list pressings which sound muted in any range, compressed, or that are just not recorded "hot" enough. Those with significant noise will be listed only if the record or performance is rare.
As most collectors know, even identical pressings can sound different. Even a brand new record may have defects. Even renowned issues like the original Mercury Living Presence and DG 'tulip' pressings can sound as bad as a budget label. That's why I play-test everything I list.
For the most part I focus on classical vinyl records, and I take it seriously. Please see my feedback and ask any questions. Records are cleaned thoroughly with distilled water and a clean microfiber before play-testing. Condition will improve, of course, with a professional cleaning.
