High-quality, high-end reissues of great albums with the recording artists involvement, when possible, along with going to the original analog master tapes for under $40.00 dollars? Rhino is really on the right track here!
It's wonderful that Rhino has real music fans such as Patrick involved in this project. I have The Cars album and it sounds & looks wonderful. Keep 'em coming Patrick ! 👍
I'd bump it up to 15,000. I had never heard of this, but now that I know about it, I'll definitely be looking for new releases. Once people know about this, I could easily see your sales at least tripling on most releases.
Wish there'd been some discussion about the countless issues caused by poor shipping, packing, and QC, followed by all the non-existent customer service.
This is the most information I've seen yet on the Rhino High Fidelity series. And Patrick does seem like a good guy that enjoys what he's doing. I'm glad I got one of the 5000 The Cars releases on the first RHF release. I was hoping this new, never released and upcoming Fleetwood Mac Rumors Live Rhino 2xLP set coming out in August that I pre-ordered was going to be a RHF. But it didn't say anything about it being RHF as I made the purchase a week or two ago. I look forward to seeing what they do release and I'm sure there will be a lot that I will be buying 👍 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
I bought both- Love The Cars and was waiting to get the Coltrane. Glad I waited- Coltrane Sounds is a great record! I really hope they can expand a little- put out 3-4 records per batch, and make sure a Jazz record is always represented. I mean, just press fewer. Thanks for the video and interview to you both!
Great interview Eric. Rhino have always been the record company to beat afaic, I'm really excited to see what new titles are announced. Please step up the frequency of releases Patrick!👍
The his guy’s voice is so deep and vocal fry-like and his mic is so “sharp” that he comes out sounding like a grating robot… my ears! Also, I really hope they do kind of ditch the jazz titles for the most part moving forward. There’s certainly no shortage of audiophile reissue labels that constantly put out jazz title after jazz title while other genres like classic rock, classic pop, R&B, disco, soul, funk… basically every other genre gets left to flounder while we get the 17th cut of kind of blue. There’s a huge untapped market for audiophile releases that are finally not always jazz.
Wonderful product. Love the records! Shipping and customer service is about the worst I've experienced in my 50 something years on earth. I've had to resort to buying second hand from others. Not worth the guessing game delivery, never getting tracking, and absolutely worst customer service. Pretty much emailing a black hole. I hate that this the case...but it is. I had to go through WEA to get a real response. Horrible.
I am not a big fan of digital or the 180 Gram Disks! When I remaster an Album, mainly for myself. I do not use the General L and r Mix or a strait line out connection! and yes, the albums are remixed with different channels and artifacts, which are often hidden because of how untrue stereo has become over the ages! I would love to work with or at a real recording studio. but, that may not happen ever in my life!
Why is it so hard to print a symbol on the back cover that tells us its all analog? We definitely need more great sounding pressings that are reasonably priced, not like the "audiophile" label stuff that for me here in Australia sets me back $100 a piece if i want a copy. We want 2011 Black Sabbath vol 4 again, but the whole Sabbath catalogue Also, can someone please check on Kevin Gray, the guy must be working 24hrs a day. Is he the only guy on the planet that can do his job? What happens when him and Bernie eventually fall off the perch?
The titles, analogue masters, Kevin Gray, jackets and attention to detail are the best. Rhino's choice of mailers and customer service are AWEFUL. I cannot understand why this guy hammers the quality point so hard and then they FUMBLE it with the WHITE DEATH MAILERS. Both of my records were damaged and I am almost 8 weeks after filing 2 claims with ZERO response. Spend one dollar more on a quality mailer like The In Groove, Plaid Room Records, Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct use.
Oh god, please no.. No more Jazz titles. 😑 There's already dozen labels that specialize in that.. The market is over saturated. What we need is more audiophile _Rock_ titles! The Cars album sold well for a reason.. hint, hint. 😉 You knocked it out of the park there (except on shipping). Please, please, please concentrate on rock n roll albums! 🙏 For example, Black Sabbath: You re-released everything recently, but on freakin picture disc's of all things...ugh. Nobody really wants that! How about a Rhino High-Fidelity audiophile treatment on some Black Sabbath? UK vertigos aren't cheap, so you could really save the day here. That's just one of many examples. 👍 Keep up the good work, just don't overdo it on jazz titles! Lastly, but not lastly - you've got to improve your packing before shipping! The corner dings and general damage overall, because of cheap, insufficient packaging is unacceptable, especially for $40. Please step up your game there. ✌️
Not to sound to negative, but not really impressed. I’m a Danish record collector and cant find that edition Cars album anywhere, retail store or Rhino. Maybe it’s already sold out. Looking a discogs the prices the cheapest is about 100$ + shipping. So the retail price doesn’t really matter. The MOV version is more expensive that the Mobile Fidelity issue there. (Sorry about my English). The “Limited edition” tag don’t appeal to me anymore. 🤗 still like the MOV reissues, though 😀
We are graciously allowed to buy Rhino regulatory stuff in Europe. When it comes to quality releases, we are only allowed to buy expensive stuff from the US store? Shame on you Rhino. What is the sense of that? Why limited to 5000? Is it only for the audiophile nerds and the flippers? Normal people also want great sounding Records, or we only allowed to buy the mostly bad- or uncontrolled garbage stuff of today? I want to buy Records in my local Record Store not online in the US or other countrys. But the biggest joke is that the album is pressed in Germany, but we are supposed to buy it expensively with outrageous shipping costs in the US. And the best at the end: Get the Cars with damaged corners in a shitty parcel. Rhino only from the US-Store👎👎, never again.

You get the BEST GUESTS! I love these releases, pumped for this one.

Nice!! This worked out well with you interviewing via Skype of Zoom! Keep it up. I’m praying you can get The Mellons on set someday! 🎶
hard to believe they are any jazz albums left that havnt been repressed to death ,keep the rock albums coming

great interview!!
Very cool interview
Hopefully they announce what releases are coming

Remember Rhino Records on Westwood Boulevard? I do.
It would be great to have the Everly brothers Warner era reissue !
Just curious: what brand of headphones are you using?

Will Rhino release a few Devo titles in their new high end format?
In the entire galaxy vinyl is unique.
I think 1/2 speed masters are great. Give your guest a glass of water.
The 12 dollar shipping is a bit much.

I got Tina Turner's Foreign Affairs from them. Everything great except for the excessive de-essing. 😢

I think there's enough room for all genres.
I hope they sell them all, but sorry, I ain’t spending $50 on an album.

I was interested but the voice fry is unbearable! What's wrong with this guy?
