      Awful pressings, noisy, scuffed, full of pressing flaws , Nice packaging and the record sleeves look good, but the pressings dont do justice to the music ...We are being taken for Chumps a rip off!!

        One of my favorite LP reissue series over the last few years. I've never had any problems with any releases I've bought but it looks like things may be starting to slip a bit from reading some of the comments here. I really hope this isn't the case and these are just isolated defects.

          Have to say, I had to return just the one, which had been pressed with a strange scratch that seemed to have come from an embedded piece of fluff, and there was no offer to offset the cost of return postage. Still, this was a number of years ago, probably 2013, and they've all been good since then. These things should be checked before the vinyl is sealed.

            I have collected pretty much every release in the series: until 2014, pressing was all right, no problem to report at least for the copies I have seen. Since then, this has gone from bad to worse - shame as curation, design and mastering are great! Any idea where these records are pressed???

              Just purchased brand new copies of Christian Zanési - Grand Bruit / Stop! L'Horizon. All of them are defective to varying degrees and have to be returned. Glum....

                Same problem here: my copy of François Bayle's Tremblements has marks all over the place, making the LP basically unplayable as this is a very quiet (and beautiful) piece! There are great pressing plants in Europe such as Pallas, why not use them?

                  Pressings getting worse from this label. Got both François Bayle and Christian Zanési in the post today - brand new sealed copies.
                  The Christian Zanési has a scratch on side two that clicks for over 5 minutes.
                  The François Bayle has scuffs right across one side.
                  The music is so quiet they need decent pressings - not these pitiful efforts.

                    Cover design reminds strongly of Brani Per Sonorizzazione series: https://www.discogs.sie.com/label/962340-Brani-Per-Sonorizzazione

                      reissue efforts come and go but this particular effort is among the best. beautifully packaged, beautiful sounding, expertly curated, it is hard to think of ways these could have been better. the design follows a common template with variations in colour and tints with the record housed in a thick sleeve with short liner notes, the package is sober and invites the listener to concentrate on the music. i think the series does justice to the music and composers in a way that raises the bar for future reissue efforts. bravo to everyone involved.
