Cherry Pop

apart from being too expensive and bad sound and bad artwork and missing many b sides not on albums these releases are perfect..

Some good releases with all the best intentions but more attention to detail and quality required please!

cherry pop and wounded bird are giving us expensive picture and sound and video quality cds worse than bootlegs.

Bad sound misskng b sides missing mixes low quality artwork back 2 my vinyl instead of .

Careful with these releases: Many of them are flawed.... Especially wrong mixes and stuff like that, i.e. Yazz, Deee-Lite, Divine, Hazell Dean, Claudia Bruecken, etc.... Sooooo annoying!!!

There is one word which can describe the label Cherry Pop releases - Amateur!

While Cherry Pop presents sexy releases of 80's pop classic albums as Deluxe Editions, which contains the 12" versions in B-side songs, what you actually get is only a recording of the original records, poorly remastered with the usual Loudness-War attitude of the recent decade. Some of the record which has been used as an audio source sound very bad: so you get an old record distortion and some times surface crackles, which the Mastering engineer didn't bother to clean.

As for the print works - see previous comment...

If you already have the albums and the singles, there is no point of purchasing any of those Cherry Pop CD's.

Of course there are many true gems here, but considering the main imprint's reputation, it is sad Cherry Pop isn't dedicated to its 80s pop re-discovery more properly. It looks like it's going to be a hodge-podge of this and that from the 80s.

Yes, it's pop, yes it's hits all over the place and yes these will once again deservedly find their audience - however, some of the final packages definitely look like ugly second-hand scrapbooks. Instead of giving the original designs same decency as the music contents (which either reward or exaggerate with bonus material), Cherry Pop catalogue provides visual superficiality, in a second rate manner of TV sales offerings. Well, maybe such visual effect was intentional but Cherry Pop definitely need bigger experts in restoring/treating original graphic designs, with more respect.
