John Reed Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The music's great and it's a label I collect, but its so frustrating when you see/get them and the pressing is so bad that they're unplayable, at least to these ears.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John Reed Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nancy Butts John? + Ronnie Miller & Jimmy Braswell, releases 14-16 mainly... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ronnie Miller is cheap to pick up on Polydor and sounds a bit brighter. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dylan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 my nancy butts is bad but I put that down to it being a lower grade. my JB plays fine so prehaps not all are bad great label. Would love the matt brown 45s but a bit to pricey for me. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ted Massey Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 nothing wrong with the Matt Brown sound quality Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jumpinjoan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 nothing wrong with the Matt Brown sound quality I'll second that. And what a tune! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Reed Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Sorry guys, maybe I should have been clearer. Its not the sound quality I'm complaining about, but the quality of the wax. All the ones I've got have pit marks which on and some I've bought i've had to send back because the pit marks were so bad. By the way, I'm not complaining about dealers selling these, just that the wax quality of Jar-Val releases is generally quite bad. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've got Matt Brown 'Everyday' and the quality is fine! Not sure about the other MB release...... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Docfish Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The Jimmy Braswell copies all have some bubbles in the wax, at least all copies I came across. Some are that bad, that the needle jumps, some play "only" with some ticks. Fantastic label, indeed! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Agent45 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The Jimmy Braswell copies all have some bubbles in the wax, at least all copies I came across. Some are that bad, that the needle jumps, some play "only" with some ticks. Fantastic label, indeed! I'm not sure this is true of the entire pressing of the Jimmy Braswell. I remember mine being quite decent, though I'd have to look at it again. It sounds great in any event. I've seen poor pressing quality in a handful of Jar-Val releases, namely Nancy Butts "Letter Full of Tears", Joe Fossett (which is a much later release than the others), Ronnie Brown and the gospel 45s. However, I have quite a few others that are ok. It was a really small operation, so I think the quality is always going to be hit or miss. I've never paid much attention to any deadwax markings to determine which plants were used though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
