Bravo to those who quit lamenting long enough to say, "Screw it, I'll just do it myself!" More power to him. He's got my vote, especially if he starts pressing jazz, fusion, prog and such.
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Lovely to see all that ancient gear being lovingly restored and used again, but I do have to say that in my experience, which is very limited compared to Mr Lodgesound for example, a well set up Studer A80 solid state machine can still readily reproduce the venue atmosphere and feeling in the playing if it's there in the recording - in my opinion and limited experience..
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

The amount of care going into these releases is enormous - even down to finding the right card stock and printing process to replicate the original. I'd imagine a lot of the output is going to the Far East. But I haven't booked my delivery slot yet - waiting for the Guardian's prize draw first.
