Acoustic Sounds and RTI have acquired the spectacular Wilson Audio Custom Tube Mastering facility. The equipment has been installed at RTI in California with Bruce Leek and Stan Ricker, mastering. Analogue Productions Revival Series were the first LPs mastered with this incredible system. The beauty of having the mastering facility in the same location as the pressing plant is the lacquer can be pressed immediately. This eliminates degradation in the lacquer. RTI has state of the art pre-plating equipment and produces the best pressings in the world.

The Don Ellis Orchestra - Electric Bath
A very interesting album, which crosses boundaries. Some very interesting time signatures too. It's not an album I listen to that frequently, but I would recommend it.
