I seriously admire the whole philosophy but would NEVER spend that kind of money on vinyl LP's.

Shane, thanks for posting the article.
What price ''perfection''? It will be interesting if anyone here on the AoS buys one (or more) of these pressings.
I was gratified by the reference to the Heidelberg letterpress printing machine used to re-create the printed artwork. As someone who worked in the 1960s with these machines, it is good to know that this obsession to detail with these pressings was carried through to the record sleeves.
As for the amount of money for the records, well, if anyone can afford it, then why not!

Lol... Even I would baulk at paying that sort of dosh! However, this (taken from the article) sounds more promising:
If they were *REALLY* good, I'd pay a £100 for an albumHutchison has plans to move beyond classical music into rock, jazz, and other genres with a broader appeal, which would help lower the price somewhat. "They would sell more so we could press more and maybe do them around the £100 mark," he says.
Anyway, Shane, thanks for sharing the article - most interesting. Did you read some of the bullshit replies from the usual idiots?

Looking at the website pictures, the sheer quality of the product is *just* exquisite.... Maybe for my 50th birthday in 2015!!
