So basically, they are now censoring reviews to prevent people saying they didn't care for the quality of a product, whether it's a detailed or casual review. My review had 11 helpful votes and two positive comments before they yanked it. I hope enough people were able to see it before blindly buying this set thinking they were getting a high quality "remaster". I can only assume that CR is making a last gasp by returning to these poor quality vinyl transfers because there's only so many titles you can release and re-release in a world where physical product is waning, especially when they are trying to pump out 40 titles a month. The only reason CR (somewhat) changed their shortcut practices years ago was because of all the negative complaints and reviews that were being posted about the various product issues. Now I guess it's just easier to block truthful reviews than obtain proper source material.

But here's an interesting twist. I got an email from Cherry Red confirming they've read my reviews (as well as confirming some of the content there in), and asking me if I would be interested in working on future projects with them. Perhaps it's a 'keep your enemies closer' scenario? I responded politely detailing that I had worked with CR before, and explaining why I departed (the whole skimp on quality for the sake of a deadline situation). The person who contact me is a manager who has been with CR since 2015 and may not have been aware of my history with them. Honestly, I don't see the point. They've just done probably the three main Sony owned artists that I wanted to do (Altered Images, BWW and King), so it feels like too little too late. And now with my own label going, as well as still being tapped for the occasional project for Futurismo, it just makes me sigh...

I think a lot of people would want you to take this opportunity as it at least gives you an in to Sony where it would appear that door was closed. Of course it's up to you with your schedule etc... The only reason why I bought a Cherry Pop release was because you were involved ( the Mood ). With all the bad audio quality reviews over the years I've avoided them.
