“All collectors of RCA Living Stereo LPs have their favorites, and these are mine. … I’ve been disappointed by all the reissues released over the last 20 years that have promised better sound than the originals but have fallen far short of that. I had much higher expectations of these new reissues, from Chad Kassem’s Quality Record Pressings, having been very impressed by some of QRP’s rock and jazz reissues. When I spun them, I was floored. After comparing them to early shaded-dog pressings of the same recordings, I felt the only area in which the originals were still superior was the subtle, additional layer of air and sparkle in the highs (master-tape age, perhaps?). But the reissues’ quality and extension of bass and high-level dynamic contrasts were superior. And the surfaces of the new pressings are so quiet they let each subtle midrange detail emerge from a “black” background. At times, the background is so silent I have to do a double take to verify that the needle is still in the groove and the platter is still turning.” — Robert J. Reina, Stereophile, February 2015
