WTF is with ORG - another train wreck pressing!

Just arrived yesterday - a fine box from Soundstage Direct with 11 slabs of vinyl, from MOFI, Music On Vinyl, Porcupine Tree, and ...Original Recordings Group (ORG).



I dumped all over ORG for their shitty pressing of Weather Report - Heavy Weather on 45 rpm vinyl. I figured it was an aberration, but noted that ORG appear to have changed from Pallas to RTI for their pressings - not necessarily a good sign.



Now arrives the 45 rpm Albeniz Suite Espanola, from the London reissue program that so far I haven't bother with (insipid, listless group of titles really).



I should have stayed away.



Look at what I received for $60 plus shipping - freakin' skid marks across the vinyl!! This is just so disappointing, so ugly, so unnecessary. It's just purely crappy quality control and both ORG and RTI are to blame.



Maybe it's a great remastering (Bernie Grundman), I have no idea. The sound is pure garbage.



Stay away from this one, too, as well as the ORG Weather Report. Looks to me like Original Recordings Group, the highest priced reissue company in the market, has decided to go the way of Classic Records and keep buyers in an endless loop of frustration, returning product endlessly in search of a passable pressing.



Not this boy. New policy - when they are this bad, I'm sending them back for a refund, no second chances. For $60, they can do their own quality control checks instead of leaving it to the customer.
