Thanks to all for your kind words and support. We had a lot of fun at T.H.E. Show and Axpona. We are looking forward to seeing all of you guys again - hopefully in Denver. As Bruce said, we are new to this scene and need your feedback. We hope to have an open dialogue with our customers so that we can be responsive to their desires, needs, and expectations. To that end, we will have additional samples of the recordings on the website soon as well as more info regarding the players on Jazz Masters Vol. 1 & 2.
I called Greg earlier this year about this idea and our business model. He has been kind enough to help guide us into this world. Our goal now is to get our customers' feedback. Our first release was made as a good faith effort to show our potential consumers that we have an outstanding product and that we are committed to making this label work for everyone. I have heard the history surrounding the birth of the 1/4" tape revival and have assessed the current market. Suffice to say, that we look to learn from our own mistakes and success as well as those of others. As a result, we have recorded the first two Volumes of our Jazz Masters Series at our own expense so that we can deliver product immediately. The first release, Jazz Masters Volume 1&2, will start shipping next week. All of the artwork (i.e., case sticker & insert) will be in our hands by the end of this week. We had Peter Doell from Universal Mastering come by the studio a couple days ago to perform the final checks on the 1/2" playback and 1/4" dubbing decks. Everything is spot on with the machines so we are ready to roll on the audio side.
We truly appreciate everything that Greg, Mbl, and Myles have done for us. Our first few customers deserve a special thank you because of their willingness to take a chance on us. Bruce will forever be our first customer and we are more than pleased to have his support! Please reach out to me directly or visit our website if you have any questions. www.dangerousanalog.com
