i would like to procure the complete box on release date. how do i make that happen? thank you.

i would like to see the moody blues added and also where are your lps going to available in the USA. thanks

That's good news!

www.authentichendrix.com says they will be "all analogue", just like the "axis: bold as love" reissue from 2008. Hope they will be as good as that reissue.

@Preston:
Amazon (.com, .co.uk etc) usually ship before release date.

@Mike:
It's already on pre-order at Amazon.com and the usual more specialised vinyl sites.

Hope this helps

For everyone who likes the 'Black Gold', quick delivery, fine prizes and good service, look at my website

MOV should be definitely advertising them as "all analogue" if that's how Sony have represented them...will definitely catch the eye of purists who already know that MOV are doing excellent whisper quiet dead-centre pressings.

So MOV Admin - are these the same ones that are listed on the official Hendrix online site as being pressed at RTI for a March 2010 release (Sony/Legacy) or are MOV pressing their own versions at a European pressing plant - if different are they using the same master lacquer?

@Steve:

Good question! Would like to know that too.

I do hope they are the same, and if not I will go for the all analogue that are listed on the official Hendrix online site.

Hi Herman & Steve. We are pressing our records in the Netherlands, but we use the same masters as our Legacy colleagues in the US. Testings are triple-checked by all parties involved, to make sure the quality of our pressings will be the same.

thank you MOVadministrator !

This will be perfect for me if I can buy the albums of famous old bands and singers who in the past 20 years have been issued on CD only. Example is Deep Purple "Purpendicular" 1996 and "Abandon" in 1998, Nazareth "Move Me" 1994 and "Boogaloo" in 1998, Ringo Starr "Vertical Man" 1998, "Ringo Rama" 2003, "Choose Love" 2005 and "Liverpool 8" . It is also a lot of remarkable albums by other artists. I have almost complete discography on vinyl for many artists, but I want to collect all albums on vinyl.

@ Konstantin, we'll do our best for you :)

Thanks for the answer! And do You want to reissue on vinyl all albums of Shocking Blue. I think it's really the best from best Holland bands. It's a wonder!

hi MOVadministrator ,

are sure "Are You Experienced" will be a 2LP?
www.authentichendrix.com says it will be a 1LP.

Maybe you can provide us with a tracklisting too, because US versions of this Lp have different tracks than the European ones.

thank you!

@ Herman, our Music On Vinyl release will be a 2LP. Please check the link www.musiconvinyl.com

@MOV moderator,
These releases are a bit confusing, with regard to the US releases on Sony/Legacy. Did George Marino and Eddie Kramer have anything to do with the mastering for the titles that you are selling? Not that it matters to me, but as fans, and people spending $$$, it would be nice if all the info was upfront and honest. I'm a big fan but do not want to buy multiple versions of these records (AGAIN) looking for the best sounding one. We know that the US ones are all analogue, and cut at Sterling in NYC, from analog masters. What are the sources for your releases? Thanks in advance for the info!

I seriously doubt that these new MOV pressings are from analog masters, without digital interferance in the chain. Here's why:

These records do NOT have 'sterling' or 'gm/ek' in the deadwax, like the new US versions. So, basically that means that all
those precious 2-track mixdown tapes would be flown in from New York to the Netherlands for a different vinyl cutting, not directly approved by Eddie Kramer ????
Why didn't 'Experience Hendrix' just send the platters (metal parts) that were cut at Sterling Sound ? They also did that with the recent European Hendrix reissue's of AYE and Axis on Back2Vinyl/Universal.

Furthermore, AYE on MOV is not the same release as the new US one; the US one is a single album, MOV's 2 LP is modelled after the 1997 remaster.

Lastly, I listened to the new First rays 2LP on MOV and it sounds NOTHING like the original US pressings on which these songs first appeared.
Not half as dynamic and lively. In fact, it sounds a lot like the 1997 CD remaster, which has been repeatedly critized for its overly hot mastering.

Please gentlemen at MOV, I appreciate what you do but stay factual. Rather no information, than incorrect information. Even when unintentional.

Best,
Menno

Dear Menno,

I don't know who you spoke to, but these are the REAL facts:
All our records have been cut and pressed in the Netherlands, using the same audio-masters as the Legacy versions, directly from Sterling. Testings have been approved by both Sony US, as well as the Experience members themselves, so we don't give you incorrect information.
Are You Experienced isn't even released yet, so I'm keen to find out how you could have listened to our version?
About "First Rays", this is your opinion. The Experience has a different opinon.

It took us months to get all titles approved, so please know the facts before you start judging, thanks.

@ Michael, I think my previous comment answers your question ;)

@MOVadministrator ,

since you wrote "Are You Experienced isn't even released yet":
do you know when "Are You Experienced" will be released?

thank you,
Herman

@ Herman,
no official date yet, but we'll keep you informed!

@MOVadministrator,

could you please explain why, if the same mastertapes were used, jpc lists the MOV version of "Valleys of Neptune" as having 18 songs, while the Legacy version is listed as having 12 songs? Same with "Are You Experienced"; here, jpc lists the MOV version as having 17 songs, while the Legacy version is listed as having 11 songs.

What is the reason for the differences?

Thanks in advance.

hi Roland,

I think jpc.de makes a mistake about "Valleys": it just lists the last 6 songs twice
Don't know about AYE, but I do know that the 1997 version and the BackToBlack version both had 17 songs (it's a pity that the Legacy version only has 11 songs). I'll just wait until the MOV-version comes out and then we'll see.

Herman (I'm not MOVadmin)

Hi everybody. I'm interesting to buy these news releases. I have a doubt about art book.

Is the same art book of the vinyls and cds? i wanna say, the same pictures, the same characters, every little detail.....it is say, Is a copy the art book vinyl from the art book cd?

I found information about these releases a bit unclear. Not much about Are You Experienced, which is obvious, as it is a double and the Sony edition is only a single album.

Also;
The first batch from Sony was numbered
- are these MOV releases numbered?
How many are pressed of each title?
- Poul

@anxo
The booklets in our Hendrix LP's are not exact 100% 'blown up versions' of the cd-booklets, but they do contain picturess and text that are featured in the cd-booklets as well. However, the pics of Jimi look much better in the LP-sized booklets of course :-)

@Poul
The Hendrix LP's on Music On Vinyl are not numbered and -at this moment- not restricted to a certain limited number of pressed copies. However, this may not mean we will press them till infinity.

Could you please release Boogaloo, and Move Me By the Rock Group Nazareth? These are the only two Nazareth releases that are not on Vinyl. As you may know, Nazareth have a very huge fan base and are extremly popular. Im sure for the collector and fans of Nazareth, these two releases would sell off the shelves. Thanks for your attention
