It's interesting to hear these stories. I've bought bad pressings of
stuff recently too (thank god I'm just a consumer after reading what
JT and Matt have said). The last Aroy Dee record could have been cut
better. It's such a great record too.

yeah a new cutting engineer helps a lot, but it's a crap shoot. the
much beloved ron murphy is far from reliable, he'll do a great job
for one record then cut the next with a load of hi-freq hiss and

and the results were ass. d&m are great but you have to schedule a
cutting time weeks in advance, you can't be in a hurry.
we had dLVEXT2 by e.r.p. cut 3 times, eventually went with the 1st
cut because the subsequent cuts only got worse and it had been 4
months just in the cutting phase by then. it's being remastered and
recut right now at a different place for an august re-release woohoo
