New UHQR by Analogue Productions/QRP - Axis: Bold as Love*

I checked the link. Detail is for a Dido record!

Rechecked link 5 min later and its not there.

So far, a lot bs as far as I can see.

 

Checked the eBay link again, item no longer available.

Looks and smells like bs now!

 

I guess you’re right. I misspoke there. Sorry. At least I didn’t claim to have it, right?

 

I was thinking the Stereo UHQR might be worth owning. I might get one. But I stand by statement, the Classic Mono's emphasis is on Hendrix. This is what I want. I don't really much that Mitchell and Redding never sounded better. I'm glad that they do. But not at the expense of Jimi's brilliance. The cymbal splashes muddy up the guitars. Again it's not a bad record. I just like the Classic better. But the Clarity vinyl might help me like the Stereo version more. Again I think Clarity is the real deal. I do have some old Clarity records from Classic. But I don't have any comparison records with the same mastering. The AP Clarity is strikingly quieter than what I can recall from Classic. I might have to pull out those records to see how quiet the Classic vinyl is.

 

The auction ended in March.

I’ve seen this one before. But as I don’t have it in my hands, I won’t ask you to take that as proof it exists.

 

Classic definitely had some quality control issues on their standard vinyl which is a big reason I didn’t buy more in the day. I wish I’d gotten all the Zeppelin in hindsite. My copies of Kind of Blue and Dido really aren’t too quiet at all just to name a couple.

They also had an issue with dish warping which I now remedy with the Vinyl Flat devise. If these UHQRs can give us top notch quality control on some of the Classic catalog I think it may be well worth while. Meanwhile, I would recommend the UHQR stereo without hesitation. It’s pricey, of course, but will soon be gone ostensibly for good.

 

I'd be really happy to find that this does exist, something I could maybe chase up but not on the back of the tenuous showing so far!

I'd want to see the original listing for the sale for one and / or the actual album. Then and only then will I give this claim a second thought.

So far, an ebay listing that showed up three different ways in less than half an hour! A discogs listing [fc

 

just take it easy, no one's forcing you to believe in anything.

 

My credit card was one of those that had expired. They sent me an email to update my card. I called them to update the expiration date and my order was shipped out right away.

 

Nor am I being convinced , forced or otherwise.

 

Yes, this has to be anticipated when a release takes this long to materialize. I would hope in the future they account for this and notify their customers.

 

That is exactly what they are doing.

 

There's a handful that have sold on Ebay in the past. It appears they were test pressings or part of the Michael Hobson archives. They do exist.

 

All is correct:C.R. never pressed and iussed this title on Clarity vinyl but did only TP,the same with Band of Gipsy.
Kind of Blue was realized on Clarity,Tubular Bells was realized on Clarity only 25 numbered copies,Zappa Hot Rats on Clarity only 10 numbered copies.
"themusic23" sold same Axis bold as love TP on Clarity.
Now is selling all the Michael Hobson archives.

 

They failed to notify me x 2. Even after I updated the card for the mono they once again declined it when my stereo was ready to ship. Maybe they’re getting their act more together now.

 

Gotcha. The rep I talked to specifically mentioned this as a reason things are being delayed even though it didn't even apply to me.

 

Now we're getting g somewhere. The Hobson records will be numbered, 1 of 5. The short run should have a number too, if not and they have a sleeve then most likely a TP, 1 of 20.

So, 25 in total? Or another few if a short run included.

Still, never issued.

 

OK, just ignore it then.

 

Are you sure you didnt just take a sticker off of another clarity vinyl album?

I dont know, Im with Jordon Johnson on this. Looks suspicious!

OK. Pretty cool. I’m afraid about the last thing I need is another pricey copy of this album though.

 

So this Clarity at the end is a very obscure pressing?

 

Took a bit of time but we got there in the end, nothing issued (as I said originally) and test press to all intent (as originally stated).

These things always crop up.

Value? 115 USD, sealed. Now all we need is someone who actually bothered to buy to play.

 

A search of Popsike shows that handful of these have sold on Ebay. It appears that these were test pressings or part of batch for Michael Hobson. One description said it was numbered 5/5. Bring that there's 16 listings on Popsike, the 5/5 seems a bit off.
