Upcoming Indian Vinyl LP Record Releases
- Thread starter prepress
- Start date
Mostly old titles which are released recently are inferior than the original release. Either it is Teesri Manzil, Kati Patang, Pakeezah, Kabhi Kabhie, Silsila etc. You can find some reviews here. First time released on LP sounds good (may be because we don't have anything analog to compare with) but still don't expect too much.
All these releases need to be correctly mastered for vinyl and great artwork!- they need to come to London for this! There are plenty of great international quality of mastering engineers here - I would be willing to help and collaborate!

They just announced this last month, I hope these are under production and will be soon in market.
These companies are becoming greedy, Mostly all above titles they had released on CD recently, some Saregama and Sony ones specially manufactured for Amazon.in and Amazon sold these titles in Lightening Deals @cheap price. They just want to press whatever was prepared for CD (by removing average songs).

Any idea whathat quality pressing can we expect?
All of above titles have songs which were originally digitally recorded. So where's the question of using an analogue master?
The quality will be good. I have not been disappointed with any release which has had songs digitally recorded in the first place. As mentioned in other threads I do not buy any new releases of films pre 1990s.

Agreed prepress. Today all English albums are offered on various formats. Which format one wants to buy is upto you. Thats how going ahead it will be. In all new titles, chances are all formats are sourced from the same master. Which format to buy is dependent on whether the buyer has a better vinyl rig or a cd rig. Its not about cd being better or vinyl being better. It simply boils down to the rig you have
Moving ahead, cd, downloads along with vinyl will become niche. Streaming is where the money is. For most new Hindi releases, probably 90% of the money comes from streaming.

Masters are digital but they are much higher resolution than CD quality. The perception here is the vinyl are pressed with CD as master than original master.
I completely agree with you.
Although another point that comes into play is the quality of the cd pressing itself. If you do get a good cd pressing then makes no sense to buy the LP of you already have a decent digital rig.
I am personally not very confident of cd pressings done in india . A us/U.K./German or up pressing is very good. With my limited exposure, French and Dutch cd pressings are no too good either.
Malaysian pressings suck as much as Indian .
I think these have to do with the quality and sourcing for the glass mothers used to press.

Hi I think Indian companies have become very greedy , Lp 's for international artists where they have much higher royalty is cheaper and here even compilations they are peddling at 1500rs , I do understand that there has to be margins but at this price they might kill the revival of vinyls . Ideally they should have priced between 600 -800 rs as internationally you can get records pressed for 2-4 $ and this give them sufficient margins
