Good work on many of the Blue Note reissues. The Van Gelder editions are over-compressed and "super-loud" mastered too much for my liking, but mucho kudos to your company for putting so much material on the market in good old reliable CD format with nice booklets. I wish you owned the jazz library that a certain mega-glomerate owns and keeps mostly locked in vaults or parcels out occasional reissues in awful iTunes format. Oh and congratulations on Nora Jones! -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andes, Donald" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Curious--was: well, this might <snip> As the Director of Archives I oversee the collection, cataloging, and storage of all Creative assets (Audio/Video/Film/Photo/Artwork) for EMI in the US. I don't deal with any legal, accounting, or contractual paperwork as that is stored in paper vaults under someone else's careful watch. I do have metal parts, 16" transcription discs, 78's LP's, ect. as well as analog tape, digital tape, cd's, dvd's, and most other media storage formats. I also keep session notes, recording logs, release books, etc. If it came out in the US with EMI/Capitol/Virgin/Blue Note (or any other subsidiary label) then technically I should have the masters and 2 copies of the finished product. The job keeps me pretty busy, which is why I lurk more then I post in this forum. Don Andes Director of Archives EMI Music P.S. I don't do the suing.....Legal Affairs gets that job. -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David Lennick Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 8:07 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Curious--was: well, this might <snip> Steven C.
