- Join Acoustic Sounds CEO Chad Kassem as he dives into some interesting and unique items from his private collection and shares his passion for vinyl. The cool stuff from Chad Kassem’s personal LP collection includes rare originals and Analogue Productions choice reissues from historic jazz labels like Prestige and others. The distinction is in the details: Tip-on jackets from Stoughton Printing, glossy front covers, and flat-profile and deep groove label vinyl. Sound is phenomenal. It’s the Analogue Productions/Quality Record Pressings way.

Please Please Please repress the Prestige reissues on tip-on jacket and deep groove! I would buy them all and so would a lot of people.
Yes.
Ditto!
YES
Guys, unfortunately it’s all about the licensing. When they say it’s out of print, it likely means they’d have to re-up the licensing to make more. And now all of the licensing rights are with Craft Recordings (as of Craft’s creation in 2017; AP reissues came out in 2014) so we’ll probably have to wait for Craft to release these piecemeal as part of their small batch series. Believe me though, I feel the same way as you.

Chad is a national fucking treasure. Cheers bud
Please repress the Prestige albums! Would buy them all in a heartbeat
thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos.. very enjoyable and informative.
Awesome video! So great to see Chad spreading his wisdom to us all.
Old enough I was there. I had that album still do one of my reference albums recorded extremely well. I wish you could get the new recordings that APPLE has and do that on a 45. I think it would be fabulous Chad fabulous and yes tea for The Man is one of the top 100 albums that I’ve ever owned. I would say the top 10 Cat Stevens has a great voice. Listen to.
This is fascinating. Keep em coming please.
Thanks Chad for sharing some really really nice records keep up the good work and thanks for always giving us the highest standard you can attained today
Man I would love to buy some of those Miles Prestige records. Hope you guys repress them although it seems that they won't be now.
Great video, love all your pressing, they are fabulous👍
Your version of Tillerman blows me away! One of my best sounding pieces of vinyl.
I agree!!!
Agree. It’s my go-to record to audition gear.
I have a few of those Prestige re-issues you guys put out and they are superb. The Tea For the Tillerman remaster sounds fantastic. I also have the Blue Train AP 45 re-issue and it sounds incredible.
Inside the masters lair! Thanks for sharing, Chad! Next time pull a few of those rare blues records!
Great stuff mr. Kassim! Look forward to doing business with you guys!
Keep pressing wonderful quality of records, and thanks for everything, Chad. It really is appreciated. Btw, I thought I was bad with my give or take 500 - 750 records, but 5K - 10K records? Ha! Love it. Now, that’s devotion!
well he does own QRP
Great video
I like the idea of pressing up new copies of older records from the original metal parts… maybe something to consider for anything where the original master tape doesn’t actually exist anymore, or isn’t in good shape. I know there are some original masterings that are still considered untouchable
Any chance we see more J.J. Cale? Love your Troubadour reissue so much...
Or any other classic rock, prog rock...that would be awesome
Thank you!
Yes please repress the prestige albums
Very nice. I'd like to hear one of those pink Island label TftT records someday. I've got very early US A&M pressings of both Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat, and they sound wonderful, so I can only dream of something better.
The pink island cat stevens was mastered at Sterling, so if you have an American pressing of this record, they're very close. Our reissue is better, if I do say so myself, but I think there's about 8,000 other people that would agree.
👍👍👏👏Super
Thank you for doing these videos! Would absolutely love to see your reference system to evaluate original pressings vs your reissues...
This is a video we plan on doing. We'll show our mastering console and our 2 turntables, which we can switch back and forth. We're also gonna do one at my house and the Acoustic Sounds listening/evaluation room.
@@acousticsoundsks thank you soo much Chad and team!!!
Really cool that you found original metal parts for the Buddy Holly. I hope that is still in safe keeping.
It's at the Library of Congress currently
@@acousticsoundsks Good on you guys. It would be a shame if it never ever gets used and just sits to decay though.
Will all those prestige records ever be repress? I missed so many of those (have only about 10 of them)... I'd love to have the complete set
Since Craft owns the rights it will probably take a long long while.
We're not sure, but we're trying! As we always tell our customers, "buy now or cry later!" No records are available forever.
@@acousticsoundsks Please do it! It'd be a great success. There's a lot of people like myself who would love to have faithful to the original jazz reissues (33rpm and single tip-on jackets). Had I known earlier you did these, I would have gotten them. As I said elsewhere, I would buy them all. The remaining few are too expensive on discogs at the moment.
@@acousticsoundsks more specific.. will "The Freedom Book" by Booker Ervin ever see a repress? i love this album and especially the AP pressing (a close friend has it) to death, but was too late.. cheers!
It would be nice to see more rock pressings. If you're a Jazz lover you have lots to pick from, but rock fans not so much.
Its a good time to get into jazz. Watch some of BarakaPDubs videos on it.
Hi Chad
What’s so special about Island Pink label except for the pink color label?
Great video👍🏻

Great collection! I hope you guys can re-do Blue Train at some point since literally no one is pressing, which is such a shame!
I can see a uhqr coming of this.
Blue Note will make a Classic Series reissue of it Im sure.
@@leon9021 For sure. It is the only BN album he recorded, so I would think Tone Poet would be more appropriate for it.
@@athas12 Tone Poet mainly covers lesser known titles for the jazz enthusiast though. The Classic series is meant to have the popular titles because they want them to be affordable to younger people, so no I dont think Blue Train will be a TP.
When I’ve talked to reps at Acoustic Sounds, they told me the Prestige titles will be repressed. They are still accepting back orders for these. So are they out of print or merely out of stock awaiting a repress?
Not sure what it's all about but it looks like a lot of people are interested in the Prestige reissues.
I really hope there will be a repress of John Coltrane's Blue Train on 45 RPM
Those are some cool records. Do you plan on re-issuing the 45 rpm Tea For the Tillerman any time soon? FYI, I check every day if the UHQR Kind of Blue is up for preorder. I HAVE to get my hands on that one.
It was a limited release, I dont think they will. The 33 is still available though I think, and its pretty much just as good when I compared.
Tillerman UHQR would be cool! They only have the 33rpm left, and it sounds good. I have never found a pink label that was in good shape, probably couldn’t afford it anyway. Looks like the 45 rpm is gone, so grab the 33 before it shoots up in price.
Our license on Tea for the Tillerman has run out, it was available for almost 10 years.
@@acousticsoundsks For the 33 as well then? Or do the different speeds require different licensing? Heard this is the case for other labels.
@@acousticsoundsks 10 years is a long run. I was able to get my hands on a 33 rpm copy and I couldn’t be happier. It sounds fantastic.
You just can't go wrong with those old records bro. Sonically as well as pressing quality. I try and grab up what I can find, provided it doesn't look like it was dragged behind a car down a gravel road.
I wish I could buy your reissues at an american price in Europe. Now difficult to find and if you find one stock exchange prices. :-)
Did Rudy Van Gelder record the Impulse titles the same way as the early 60's Blue Notes, using the 50/50 master tape, for both mono and stereo, or did Impulse get both dedicated mono and stereo masters?
Im pretty sure that most Impulse have first gen tapes on both Stereo and Mono but the Mono is not a dedicated mix and just a fold. So Stereo is always better.
Of course most first gen tapes are likely lost. Will be interesting to hear of the Out of the Cool sounds like a first gen or not.
Funny that Chad showed Bags' Groove, there is a typo on the back of the Analogue Productions tip on jacket, track B2 is listed as "OREO" should be "Oleo", the Sonny Rollins composition.
I guess they missed that replication ;^)
That's my favorite cookie
I noticed you showed Jethro Tull Stand Up. I would love to get a 45rpm repress of that.

ok --I bought all he prestige items I wanted on LP ---bu when I look in the catalog what about all the SACDs that are listed as pre-order? will they ever be released?
Not sure at this point
this seemed more like an advertisement then a personal collection highlights to be honest.
Lookin for a reissue of BREAD guitar man album and IAIN Matthews « if you saw through my eyes « and Peter Skellern « still magic « , in vain
Please reissue traffic!!!!!!
Should have sold the Buddy Holly album as a 2LP, one from the old part, one from the new master.
That would have been cool. But they probably couldnt make too many from the old one so it would be more limited.
We considered this, but the bottom line was after comparison, that would've been the last time you would've listened to the original.
@@acousticsoundsks fair enough :-)
@@acousticsoundsks You should raffle the test presses for charity and give me one for the amazing idea. j :-)
"Give or take 5 or 10,000 ..." Hahaha. Chad, if you have 5,000 records laying around that you've forgotten about, I can take them off your hands.
Please repress the lynyrd skynyrd debut album pronounced leh nerd ske nerd i missed that album
Going back on the press soon
Common Chad, Buddy. Bring back Classic Records Led Zeppelin. You can do it bro. :-)
He cant. You need licensing.
Analog Productions bought Classic Records who issued them back in the early 2000’s.
@@RF-lz9cd I know, you still need licensing.
