Dol vinyl reissue quality.

Reissues is a recurrent topic among vinyl junkies. Dol is a public domain label and they take cd s as their mastering source. Not every pressing of theirs is bad though. That said many factors help determine whether you ve purchased a good or bad pressing of a record.

Even though it is a grey reissue undisclosed source it sounds better to me on the vinyl system than say the original saturn rip sampled on the sun ra community site. I just tried listening to my first wax time records reissue of albert king s 1962 debut album the big blues. I wouldn t go out of my way to recommend a dol reissue unless you re collecting on a seriously tight budget in which case there are certainly worse options in the case of most classic albums but they re certainly better than their patchy reputation would suggest. They are are being offered by a well known high street music shop at the moment they appear to be russian.

Best avoided or worth a punt. But sometimes when the proper one is going for 50 the 11 dol version is. I am thinking the price is a bit too good to be true. But none of them are going to be as good as a properly mastered version from source material.

My local hmv currently has a blue note vinyl display 95 of which are dol albums not actual blue note reissues. I get why they do it they re a lot cheaper than most actual high quality analogue cut reissues although there are some good quality value albums out there via verve stateside amongst others they help get people into some. Does anyone have an experience of listening to the dol jazz blues vinyl reissues. Dol s pressings are always clean and the sleeves are decent quality as well.

A quality reissue can offer a great alternative to owning a scratchy original or spending big money on something scarce. I would avoid them along with other public domain labels i e wax time jazz time jazz wax not now doxxy etc if you want good sound and art quality out of them. It s a nice and heavy 180g record and the label and spindle hole were also top notch. Dol is a gray market label.
