[313] Acme?

2002-07-15 Thread FC3 Richards
Hello all...

I havn't posted here in a long time, but i seem to have run across a 2X12
test pressing that I need ID'd for me.  The label says Acme Vinyl
Corperation which is run out of Toronto, and the matrix number is AVA-001,
and was mastered @ NSC.  Both records are in the acid genre, fairly hard and
I like them alot.  What I am looking for is who put this out and when were
these records put out. But any info would be handy.  I have already scanned
over record labels at Amazing Discographies and Discogs...

thanks ahead of time for the help...


Jeff

[313] Acme Vinyl pressing

2001-07-27 Thread Michel Morin

Hi, does anyone have any comments about the quality of Acme vinyl's
pressings? (www.acmevinyl.com)

-how's the thickness?
-are the labels printed well?
-are they ever warped?

I'm only concerned about the pressing, and not the mastering as I had my
master lacquers cut at Metropolis in London (which I highly recommend).


thanks!

michel

As I understand the old Intellinet-distributed labels were mostly pressed at 
Acme, so there's a good reference.


I'd say it's typical american quality;)

The only thing EVERYBODY hates about those acme-pressed recs, is the plastic 
innersleeve. You know, that piece of SH*T that never goes smootly in the 
jacket and after a few listenings it's just garbage.

Acme uses paper sleeves now.

If you're suggesting that UK pressings are better, my mastering engineer
felt that most of their plants now suck... maybe the issue here is that
Europeans can afford to press thicker vinyl with full-color packaging, and
this somehow contributes to the idea that European pressings are better ;)
