Richard Thompson's New "Electric" Album on New-West Recorded Analog

By Michael Fremer • Posted: Jan 18, 2013

Richard Thompson's new album Electric due out February 5th was recorded analog at Buddy Miller's Nashville home studio, according to Mr. Thompson in a short interview published in a Florida newspaper. (Thanks to Home Theater's other MF Mark Fleischmann, for sending to me the URL of the interview).

Thompson volunteered the information, saying it was recorded analog and has a "different sound." Yes, that's one way of putting it.

Miller plays rhythm guitar along with Thompson's regular rhythm section and Thompson is joined on various tracks by guests including Alison Krauss.

A 'deluxe' CD edition includes songs not on the LP or standard CD edition so Thompson addicts will have to double dip.

There's no guaranty lacquers will be cut from analog masters and New West usually presses at United in Nashville so there's no guaranty the results will be awesome, but if you were fortunate enough to get a copy of the limited to 1000 copies 2.5 LPs Buddy Miller's Majestic Silver Strings (New West 5028) you know that United is capable of pressing quiet 180 LPs and that however this was mastered it sounds fabulous.

I bought copy # 849 and was lucky that a friend found it on the Internet for me. Apparently New West was out of them almost as soon as it was issued but it's worth a search.

I also saw RT (solo) at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, late last year for the first time in quite a while. He hasn't lost a step.

United vs Proper

Submitted by robertaich on Sat, 2013-01-19 09:49.

So does anyone have any experience with an LP on the UK's Proper label? The money comes out about the same ordering the US through amazon or the English pressing through amazon.uk. I have some small fear of avoiding the United US pressing only to find that Proper doesn't have a better pressing plant themselves. Anyone?

United vs Proper

Submitted by gMRfk6LMHn on Sat, 2013-01-19 17:07.

I have a couple of LPs on the Proper label, Los Lobos, Richard Thompson, Dr. John, Jimmie Vaughan.

I have no problem with the pressing quality but am not so enamoured with the sound. There is nothing on the sleeve credits or in the deadwax to indicate what source or who mastered the LPs, which suggests they were supplied with high res files.

Strangely enugh I bought both of Jimmie Vaughan's Plays Blues, Ballads and Favourites, the second LP 'Plays More...' has a sticker on it ''Wide Groove 45rpm 180 Gram Vinyl'' and it is the best sounding Proper of the lot.

Prices here for Proper Records are very reasonable because it is a UK company.

United

Submitted by my new username on Tue, 2013-02-26 08:52.

My U.S. copy arrived today. It's very quiet throughout, more quiet than my analog front end (that's actually NOT saying much in my case, but ...)

And yes there's United's circled "U" in each deadwax as well as WP/NRP. The catalog number, NW-5072 is hand scribed on all with -A, -B, -C or -D as applicable.

From the inside of the gatefold:

Mastered at Zen Masters by Ray Kennedy

Additional mastering for vinyl by George Ingram - NRP - Nashville

There's a sticker on the shrinkwrap that includes, "Audio Mastered for Vinyl". Buddy Milller and crew care. And they GET IT.

I'm pleased with the music and the LPs but a buddy's U.S. copy has a noise problem with at least part of one side.
