Cheap price, but a cheap sound that goes with it also.
BUT, for me there are other ways to do represses.
Saftey Copy's device is: "Music is here to be played, and not to die in collectorshands":
> Ok, so why are they pressing those records in a miserable sound quality?? You don't even catch 50% of the beauty of that song when listening to the harsh, bad copied Safety copy. "Driving" for exemple sounds like the worst mp3 you could find on the net! A track with tons of lows and a dark edge, that doesn't have any low on a record > ??
So if music is there to be played, there are other ways to play these songs in better quality then on the Safety release these days. We are in 2010!
> About their second part of the statement: "not to die in collectorshands" is just a strange way to attract people, if the meaning is to only repress 333 pieces of each record and also number them all to put the attention on it. Who do you gonna attract with a limited handnumbered edition of a record??? Yes, the collectors... But if your own records dies in there hands it's not of a big problem anymore I guess..
If Safety copy does a little more work to get the rights for each song, to get a good soundquality with the original masters and to arrange the things with the original artists, with much LOVE and RESPECT for this music, then Safety copy would have been a must..
But I have to admit, the new generation who buys his records through the net, doesn't care about the history of each record they listen to. They just buy it.. And only in the perspective of that new generation it is good that Safety Copy is there to learn them what great music was made during the 80's in Italy. Even if it is only in 333 pieces... And I mean, only in that perspective, if we forget about all the rest for a moment..
Real gold cannot be seen or even touched, it has to be listened & felt with the heart..
