Seeking to offer definitive audiophile grade versions of some of the most historic and best jazz records ever recorded, Verve Label Group and Universal Music Enterprises' new audiophile Acoustic Sounds vinyl reissue series utilizes the skills of top mastering engineers and the unsurpassed production craft of Quality Record Pressings. All titles are mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets. The releases are supervised by Chad Kassem, CEO of Acoustic Sounds, the world's largest source for audiophile recordings.

Chad, you are killing me. It is impossible to not get these releases. Every release so far has been stellar! When you reached down to get the 2022 releases I knew I would be in trouble. The work your company does is unmatched. I have already gone this far . might as well just continue WITH THE COMPLETE SERIES. No question. Thanks for your efforts and enthusiasm.

Thank you for everything you do. I have been enjoying the Acoustic Sounds series and have been buying as many as possible. I loved seeing the footage of how the records are packaged. I didn't realize how much individualized attention goes into each record. The hype stickers are put on by hand. ♥️ I'm so excited for 2022. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It's funny, the comment you made about Ella and Louis, because I'm a teenager that thought I didn't like Jazz until I hear that album. Ella and Louis is now my favorite album of all time. I even went against my standard procedure of buying originals and bought an Analogue productions copy of it in the summer. As a matter of fact, I bought it from y'all, and am very happy with it. That was the first product I ever bought from you, and I couldn't believe you used that industrial of a package lol. Anyway, as someone who didn't like Jazz less than a year ago, I now have a sizeable of jazz lps and CDs. Mostly Blue Note, but I love the impulse and Verve stuff too. Y'all do great work!

I just got the Mingus Black Saint and the Sinner Lady reissue and I just have to say how delighted and pleased I am with the quality. It’s my first purchase of a reissue from you and I couldn’t be happier with it. The quality of the sleeve alone is amazing, and the sound is sublime. One of my favorite albums ever in a completely affordable beautiful package. I’ll never need to buy it again. I’m totally fulfilled! Thanks to everyone involved! I look forward to more purchases from the 60th anniversary line of releases! Cheers!

Awesome, looking especially forward to the Coltrane/Hartman record.

Chad isnt lying folks, buy now or cry later, I preorder and pick up, Im not playing no games here. I got the Love Supreme when it came out and it sold out almost immediately.

[Ampersand]

Wow. I need a bank loan and some new shelving. These are all indispensable purchases. Congrats on the output to date and keep the classics coming.

[EddieJazzFan]

Man, love all these Verve reissues. I gotta get another side job to pay for 'em LOL.

[dzikirolnik]

I want to thank you for Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus . What a beautiful sound. Unbelivable. I am the whole day excited.
Thank you very much for your team.
When Will you do Archie Shepp with The way ahead ? I know free jazz is not so populair but this title is really bluesy and great.
Greetings from Holland.

'Buy now or cry later, thank You'. EPIC Chad :)

[JamboLinnman]

I have all of those 2021 releases except the two Mingus titles. Outstanding records and pressings. My local dealer gets every one of you releases put aside for me so will get the 2022 ones too… 😃

[davekurtzmusic]

Amazing series. Please repress Satchmo plays King Oliver on AP, please! Thank you for your quality control; AS/AP is my favorite reissue company by far.

[SamuelRivera_DAMN]

Chad, thank you!! Also, everyone would love an Acoustic Sounds Verve series edition of The Velvet Underground and Nico. Just a thought
