Hey guys, I dont have much from Music on Vinyl. Are they highly regarded for their releases? Looking at picking up AIC Dirt and Unplugged from them but wanted to know if its really quality stuff.

Thanks!

    I have ITW, AIC Unplugged, and Warren Haynes Live at Bonnaroo and all are very good. They could use thicker stock for the covers and gatefolds, but the vinyl itself is all really well pressed and what I have sounds great.

    Vinyl sounds great but their "jackets" are garbage!
    You think for the money and the quality of the product,
    it would have better packaging.!
    They Rip they Tear they are just plain terrible.
    Great Vinyl make a protective jacket to match!!

    I've been pretty happy with MOV releases. I've sent them a few request for some albums I would like to see pressed again/never pressed:

    Toad the Wet Sprocket - "Fear" and "Dulcinea"
    Bush - Golden State
    Helmet - Betty
    Local H - As Good as Dead
    Cranberries - To the Faithful Departed

    just requested....
    Slayer - "Reign in Blood" and "South of Heaven" 

    Who knows, maybe they will take it for consideration... Give it a shot for some albums you would like:

    My experience with MOV LPs is a bit mixed.  On the down side, I've heard and read that the sourcing is a real crap shoot because it depends on what the label sends them- analog tapes, metal stampers, or digital files.  But at least a lot of those digital files are high resolution and not brickwalled CDs. I will always opt for an original pressing when I can, but sometime the cost on older stuff is too much and I'll chance an MOV.  So far, though not superb, they are most pretty good.  If it's really important to me, I'll upgrade if and when I can.   And the covers/artwork are pretty nice so if that matters (it does a fair amount to me), there is that.

    Who's Next MOV is exceptional, the cover abysmal

    I have quite a few MOV releases:

    Son House - Father of the Folk Blues
    Blind Melon Soup
    They Might Be Giants - Flood
    Stone Temple Pilots - Core, Purple, Tiny Music, No. 4, Shangri-la-dee-da
    Mad Season - Above
    Wolfmother - Wolfmother
    Mew - And The Glass Handed Kites
    Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back And I'll Scratch Yours
    Extreme - Pornograffitti, III Sides to Every Story
    John Mayer - Where The Light Is (Live in Los Angeles)
    Live - Throwing Copper, Secret Samadhi, The Distance to Here
    Temple of the Dog - S/T
    Mother Love Bone - S/T
    Alice In Chains - Dirt, Jar of Flies/Sap, Unplugged
    Eddie Vedder - Into The Wild
    Tonic - Lemon Parade

    I honestly have never been disappointed with any of them. Sure some sound better than others (All the AIC, Extreme, and STP's are as good as it gets), but I always jump on the chance to get a MOV pressing because of their great track record.

    My Into The Wild sounds like shit. Everything else in my possession from MOV is pretty well made.

    I’ve got lots of MoV REs. AIC, Therapy?, TOTD, Swervedriver, Santana, Willie Dixon, Mr. Bungle, Killing Joke, Opeth, FNM, STP, Screaming Trees, Gun Club, Tragically Hip, Velvet Revolver, Blind Melon, Jerry Cantrell, ST, Eddie Vedder, Ministry, Daniel Lanois, Type O Negative, could be others.  

    Records using hi-res digital files can sound great on vinyl when mastered and pressed properly. Out of all those albums the only problem I’ve had with the sound quality of a MoV release is the common skip on Ministry’s Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste. Unfortunately the image quality of the sleeves of MoV releases is generally blurry or somehow otherwise distorted.

    I’ve got into the wild, Mr Bungle, Fugees The Score.  I think that’s it.

    no complaints with them. Above average definitely.  Not sure why I don’t have more, it’s just how it worked out as I don’t actively seek them out.

    as far as reissue labels they are obviously not MOFI or AP.  So that may be why I don’t have more as it’s  usually OG or MOFI/AP. They seem occupy a strange in between space

    I looked it up and apparently they don’t disclose the source. If that accurate then yeah, it’s a crap shoot.  Not only in what they get  from the label also but what the consumer buys as they wouldn’t know first
